1. A method of deriving data concerning the electro-chemical characteristics of a plurality of individual electro-chemical cells or corrosion processes, comprising the steps of:

  • providing an instrument capable of temporarily applying across a cell or a process a controlled multi-frequency electrical signal, detecting returned data resultant from said application, and utilizing the returned data with computer software algorithms to resolve the data into at least three of its electro-chemical constituents, including a series metallic resistance (RΩ

    ). an electro-chemical resistance (Re), and a double-layer capacitance (Cdl).
