Galvanic Corrosion Rate Monitor Kit with Arduino Uno
Quantify Galvanic Corrosion Rate with Arduino Uno Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Corrosion monitoring shifts from qualitative observation to quantitative science with this kit. You build an Arduino-based instrument that measures galvanic current between dissimilar metal electrodes immersed in an electrolyte, calculating real-time corrosion rates. Whether for a final-year B.Tech project, a Smart India Hackathon prototype, or a materials science experiment, this kit delivers lab-grade data logging with temperature compensation.
What You'll Build
You will assemble a complete galvanic corrosion rate monitor that displays instantaneous current on a 16x2 LCD and logs data with precise timestamps to a microSD card. The TDS EC meter references electrolyte conductivity, while the DS18B20 probe compensates for temperature drift, giving you accurate, repeatable corrosion measurements suitable for electrochemical analysis.
What You'll Learn
- Measure galvanic current with an ACS712 Hall-effect sensor in an electrochemical cell
- Interface a DS18B20 temperature probe and apply temperature compensation algorithms
- Use a DS3231 real-time clock to timestamp data logs for long-duration corrosion experiments
- Display real-time sensor readings on a 16x2 LCD with I2C backpack and log to microSD

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech ECE/EEE students developing electrochemical sensor projects, Smart India Hackathon teams building corrosion monitoring prototypes, and final-year groups from IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS will find this kit a ready-made foundation. Engineering college labs and ATL Tinkering Lab mentors can demonstrate advanced sensor integration with a real-world materials science application.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code for the AI companion that walks through every connection and code upload, or drop a WhatsApp message to our support team for human guidance.
Can I swap the metal electrodes for my own samples?
Yes, the kit is designed with a terminal block for electrode connections. You can attach any dissimilar metal pair to evaluate their galvanic behavior in your chosen electrolyte.
How accurate are the corrosion rate readings?
The ACS712 provides milliamp-level current resolution, and temperature compensation via the DS18B20 probe corrects for thermal drift. With the TDS meter for conductivity reference, you can calculate corrosion rates within 5% of theoretical values.
What programming skills do I need?
You’ll upload pre-written Arduino code that handles sensor polling, LCD output, and SD logging. Modifying sampling intervals or calibration factors requires minimal changes, and the AI companion explains every line.
ACS712 measures current between dissimilar metal electrodes in electrolyte. Quantifies corrosion rate.
