ATENG 10853 — Corrosion Study Unit
Bench-top unit.
Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.
Main metallic elements made of stainless steel.
Diagram in the front panel with distribution of the elements similar to the real one.
- Eight corrosion cells. Each one consists of:
600 ml glass vessel with a cover.
- Such cover has four orifices: two to put the test sheets, one for the reference electrode and another
one for the gas diffuser tube.
- Air circuit. It includes:
- Air pump to introduce ambient air into the electrolyte solution, flow rate: 400 l/h.
- Air flowmeter, range: 1 – 7.5 l/min.
Eight air control valves to adjust the air flow rate, one for each corrosion cell.
- Gas circuit. It includes:
Gas inlet.

- Gas flowmeter, range: 1 – 7.5 l/min.
Eight air control valves to adjust the gas flow rate, one for each corrosion cell.
- Power supply of direct current (DC) that allows applying a direct current 0 – 30 V and 0 – 3 A output, with an intensity and voltage indicator.
Ag/AgCl reference electrode.
Salt bridge.
pH-meter to study and compare the influence of the electrolyte solution on the corrosion processes.
- Set of test sheets (electrodes):
- It consists of 40 x 20 mm sheets of variable thickness depending on the material.
- Materials: copper, aluminum, iron, zinc, graphite, stainless steel and brass.
- The service panel includes:
Miliammeter and a milivoltmeter to measure the intensity and the voltage in the electrodes.
Voltmeter/ammeter selector.
Cell selector.
Connecting terminals for the test sheets.
Cables and accessories, for normal operation.
