An application for a continuously monitoring corrosion probe to be used in a fluidized bed combustor is briefly discussed. The probe is based on a temperature compensated, electrical resistance bridge, and can withstand high temperatures and forces generated by the fluid bed. The material of construction for the probe determines its response and thus can be tailored to match the materials of construction of the combustor internals. Data showing the successful operation of the probe in simulated and actual combustion environments are presented.
