The hydrogen collection method is used widely to measure hydrogen flux in various oil processing environments. The inherent advantages are the method's non-intrusivity, ease of application, speed and dynamic range of measurement, and tolerance of variable steel temperature and curvature.

In this paper we present preliminary measurements from a newly developed device based on the hydrogen collection method of flux measurement, which enables readings to be taken from up to four external probes sequentially, within a short time cycle.

Prospective applications of the new tool will be discussed in the context of the results presented, such as for hydrogen bake out monitoring.
