    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a sensor (1), such as a corrosion sensor, a mask including a series of masking elements (21, 22, 23) for masking a corresponding series of sensing elements (12, 13, 14), a sensing element having such a mask and a sensor are provided. The sensor (1) includes a number of metallic strips (12, 13, 14) mounted on a non-conducting substrate (9) and a module (3) for forming electrical connections to the strips whereby to enable communication between the strips (12, 13, 14) and monitoring equipment for the sensor (1). The module includes a number of wire connections (15, 16, 17, 18) and the method includes the steps of encapsulating the wire connections within a flexible chemical and heat resistant sealing compound and subsequently encapsulating the flexible sealing compound within a second sealing compound by an injection moulding process. The sensing elements (12, 13, 14) are covered by the masking elements (21, 22, 23) prior painting the sensor (1) with a corrosion-inhibiting paint. The masking elements (21, 22, 23) are made of a material allowing only weak adherence of paint in order to have sharp paint edges around the sensing elements (12, 13, 14). Sharp edges allow the corrosion-inhibiting agents to leach onto the sensing elements (12, 13, 14).

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a sensor 1, the sensor including a number of metallic strips 5-7 mounted on a non-conducting substrate 4 and a module 3 for forming electrical connections to the strips whereby to enable communication between the strips and monitoring equipment for the sensor, the module including a number of wire connections 16, the method including the steps of encapsulating the wire connections within a flexible chemical and heat resistant sealing compound, and subsequently, encapsulating the flexible sealing compound within a second sealing compound 34 by an injection moulding process. The second sealing compound is an aircraft sealant and the sensor is a corrosion sensor. An injection mould for injection moulding the sealing compound includes a bed and first and second upper portions defining a mould cavity where the sensor unit is placed for applying the final sealant.

    Abstract: Specimens for evaluating corrosion protection of substrates due, at least in part, to coatings applied thereupon are described. A specimen (1) comprises: a first coating (10), comprising a first set of layers (11) including a first layer (11A), on a first substrate (12); and a first set of perforations (100), including a first perforation (100A) and a second perforation (100B), in the first coating (10), wherein the first perforation (100A) has a first depth D1 through the first coating (10) and a first dimension W1 transverse to the first depth, wherein the second perforation (100B) has a second depth D2 through the first coating (10) and a second dimension W2 transverse to the second depth D2 and wherein the first dimension W1 and the second dimension W2 are different.
