Claims5
A device for measuring oxidation of an element comprising a carbon-carbon composite, characterized in that it comprises a means for measuring diamagnetism of the element and a means for converting the diamagnetism measurement into an oxidation measurement, the diamagnetism measurement means comprising a first coil to be placed in proximity to the element, a power supply supplying the first coil in order to generate a magnetic field, a second coil to be placed in proximity to the element and comprising a first and a second terminal, a means for measuring the voltage between the first terminal of the second coil and a reference terminal so as to measure the variations in magnetic field induced by the element, the diamagnetism measurement means further comprising a third coil and a fourth coil intended to be moved away from the element, each of the coils comprising two terminals, the second terminal of the second coil being connected to the first terminal of the third coil, the second terminal of the third coil being the reference terminal, the power supply being connected on the one hand to the first terminal of the first coil and on the other hand to the first terminal of the fourth coil, the second terminals of the first and fourth coils being connected.
