SOLTEQ® Equipment for Engineering Education & Research

MODEL: BP 01

T
HE Corrosion Study Kits (Model: BP 01) has been designed for students demonstration on how
potentially corrosive situations may be recognised and avoided using a simple equipment consisting
of a series of test cells. Although the experiments refer principally to steel-water systems, the apparatus
is also suitable as a test bench for other chemical systems. The equipment allows for a simultaneous study of up
to eight corrosion cells on various materials.

Each test cell allows for the immersion of three similar
test specimens in the test liquid at any given time, to
eliminate ‘rogue’ results from non-typical metal
samples. Each sample is mounted in such a way that
secondary effects are minimised and the metal surface
of known area is exposed to the test liquid. The rates
of corrosion are measured by both visual observation
and gravimetry method after a known period of
immersion. Stirring is by air or inert gas agitation.
All connecting glass and plastic tubing is provided,
as are the appropriate supports for the specimens and
glass test cells. A pH meter and electrode is supplied
to ensure the correct strength of initial test solutions.
For the study of electrochemical corrosion effects,
voltage supply is included together with all necessary
electrical connections.
The apparatus requires approximately 2m2 of laboratory
bench space for experimentation by two students. A
full instruction manual is provided explaining how each
corrosion cell situation is set up and the results
assessed.
