A corrosion monitoring device, comprising:

• a threaded rod having a central axis;
• and
• a test element in surrounding relation to the threaded rod, the test element comprising a first test element, a second test element, and a spacer assembly disposed therebetween, the first test element and the second test element having properties that corrode in the presence of contaminants in the fluid.

A system for generating power, comprising:

• a turbo-machine;
• an inlet system coupled to the turbo-machine, the inlet system directing fluid from the surrounding environment to the turbo-machine;
• a corrosion monitoring device coupled to a wall of the inlet system, the corrosion monitoring device comprising an elongated body member and a test element in surrounding relation to the elongated body member, wherein the test element projects into the inlet system to expose the test element to the fluid flowing therein.
