Standard corrosion cells For corrosion applications, two packages for large volume i.e. ~1 L are available:

- Basic corrosion cell kit, - Complete corrosion cell kit (allows temperature control and includes sample holder and cell stand).
The sample holder (092-C-013) can hold a sample of 10 mm thickness and with an outer diameter between 11.3 and 15.4 mm. The connection between the sample holder and the sample is made of stainless steel. The outer diameter and the sample holder thickness are 3.5 cm and 2 cm, respectively.

Avesta cell

Avesta cell is an electrochemical cell developed for pitting corrosion testing (ASTM G150). It is designed to avoid microcrevice corrosion formed between the working electrode and the gasket at the bottom aperture of the cell. A filter paper ring placed between the sample and the gasket is flooded by distilled water in order to eliminate crevice corrosion. The water flow is controlled by a peristaltic pump(EL-AV-008) which delivers 0.5 to 5 mL/h.

Flat cells, 1 or 10 cm² Sample area


This cell with a volume of 250 mL is adapted to perform AC or DC experiments on flat specimen of 1 cm² or 10 cm² area. This cell has a double jacket for temperature control and three holes for reference electrode, purge tube and temperature probe with inner diameter of 17.6 mm and the two others of 8.3 mm. Thanks to its design, any sample with a thickness inferior to 1 cm fits in the holder.

Coating Cell

The ?Coating cell? is an affordable cell especially dedicated for testing flat coated material samples. The coating cell consists of a glass tube mounted on a square nylon base (100 cm2). In order to avoid solution leakage, an O-ring is placed between the tested sample and the bottom of the glass body.

Reference electrode and vinyl masks are proposed as an option. Three test areas of sample (exposed to solution) can be studied: 10 cm2, 3 cm2 and 1 cm2. These surfaces are delimited by 40 mm x 40 mm vinyl mask with a hole of 10 cm2, 3 cm2, 1 cm2. The vinyl mask should be placed on the sample.

The working electrode is a thin flat sample with a maximum thickness of 10 mm. For a thick flat sample, the paint cell can be used without the nylon base.

The counter electrode, (inserted through the top of rubber cover) is provided with the cell.

The coating cell is not recommended for strong acids and bases because of the low chemical resistance of the rubber cover and that of the O-ring.

Main Specifications:

- Vial volume: 50 mL

- Active area: 1 cm2, 3 cm2 and 10 cm2

- Sample size: square sample with a side length higher than Lmin = 4.0 cm

A part of the working electrode must be outside of the nylon base in order to connect the sample to the potentiostat (electrical contact with alligator clip). Because of the short length of the reference electrode, it is recommended to use a bridge tube if the volume of solution inside the paint cell is lower than 50 mL.
