A new commercially-designed instrument using the Scanning Reference Electrode Technique (SRET) has been shown to be particularly valuable for a range of novel quantitative measurements of localized corrosion, including current densities in the vicinity of pits in a stainless steel exposed to natural seawater. Applied potentiodynamic pitting scans have been obtained for localized areas immediately adjacent to accurately defined areas of electrode surfaces.
