Innovation in corrosion monitoring in sewers - use of novel photonic sensors for humidity measurements in gravity sewers (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bustamante, H., Alwis, L. S. M., Grattan, K. T. V., Sun, T., Vorreiter, L., & González, J. (2017). Innovation in corrosion monitoring in sewers - use of novel photonic sensors for humidity measurements in gravity sewers. Water e-journal, 2(4), 1-6. https

Humidity plays a key role in microbiologically induced corrosion of concrete gravity sewers. Minor reductions in humidity can reduce corrosion rates. No reliable long lived (>1 week) humidity sensors are available, thus limiting the development of us...
