5. Application in Conservation-restoration: Protection efficiency

Efficiency of protection systems

Impedancemetry[1] is often used to monitor protection systems. This technique requires the use of a potentiostat and a 3-electrode cell. The picture below shows a device used to study some tested protection systems on a bronze statue located along a sea-front.
