Coupled multielectrode array sensors (CMAS) have been used for quantitatively monitoring corrosion, particularly localized corrosion in laboratories and industrial fields. The internal anodic current on the most anodic electrode in a CMAS probe may affect the measurement of the corrosion rate by the CMAS probe in cases where uniform corrosion, as opposed to non-uniform corrosion or localized corrosion, is dominant. This paper presents a method that can be easily implemented in a CMAS instrument to determine the effect of the internal current on the corrosion rate measured by the CMAS probe.
