Autoclaves for High Pressure Corrosion Testing
Spadeadam has a total of 5 autoclaves with capacities of 5, 10 and 15 litres. All can be used for static corrosion testing of pipeline or tubing samples with electrochemical measurements of corrosion to give real time corrosion rates in mm/year. We also have the capability to carry out dynamic corrosion testing in the 5 and 10 litre autoclaves. All autoclaves can be operated at pressures up to 345 bar (5000 psi) and temperatures up to 280 C.
An erosion/corrosion rig can also be fitted to a 10 litre autoclave to allow samples to be subjected to a continuously flowing fluid acting on its surface.
All the autoclaves can be operated to provide:
- Elevated pressures or a dynamic pressure cycle
- Elevated temperatures or a dynamic temperature cycle
- Gaseous and/or liquid environments as specified by the customer, including toxic gases such as H2S.
