The technology facilitates a convenient and accurate system for in situ observation of a corrosion process in a single phase flow. The method is based on the flow dynamics between two parallel flat plates, and provides a mechanism to study corrosion in flowing systems. It eliminates the effect of centrifugal force encountered in the rotating cylinder electrode system, which is currently the most used method for small scale analysis of flowing systems. TCFC is ideal for the study of initiation and propagation of localized corrosion, providing an easy method to control and observe the mechanical and chemical effects on corrosion product films. It can be coupled with multiple measurement techniques such as electrical resistance, linear polarization resistance, weight loss and quartz crystal microbalance to provide in situ information of a corrosion process.
