Proper placement of corrosion coupons is a small step that makes a big difference in capturing true system conditions. Let’s make sure we get it right from the start! Here’s a closer look at corrosion coupons placed incorrectly in the system by a competitor. The orientation of these coupons—lying flat within the flow—limits proper exposure to water, thus reducing accuracy in measuring corrosion rates. For reliable results, coupons should be positioned vertically to flow direction, ensuring uniform exposure and more accurate monitoring of corrosion and/or scaling.

It also allows for sediment to collect on the coupon. You got a good picture of that.
These are good tips to keep in mind.
Good post and I like those clear pipes showing the corrosion coupon installation. Do you happen to have a photo showing what can happen if a copper coupon is placed upstream of a mild steel coupon?
Don’t forget to put them in the right order! Don’t want that copper plating out on that mild steel.
