To monitor corrosion in multiphase fluids pipelines, a first pipe is fluidically coupled to extend perpendicularly away from a bottom portion of a multiphase hydrocarbons pipeline. The multiphase hydrocarbons include oil, gas and water. The first pipe is fluidically coupled to a T-shaped pipe subassembly including a second pipe and a third pipe attached to the second pipe to form a T-shape. A hydrocarbon sample of the multiphase hydrocarbons is drawn into the first pipe. Gas in the hydrocarbon sample separates gravimetrically from oil and water in the hydrocarbon sample. The hydrocarbon sample is flowed from the first pipe through the T-shaped pipe subassembly. The hydrocarbon sample is analyzed using a corrosion coupon attached to one end of the third pipe and a corrosion probe attached to another end of the third pipe. A level of corrosion of the pipeline is determined based on results of analyzing the hydrocarbon sample.
