Product Description
Used for detecting the presence of corrosive sulfur in petroleum products.The apparatus consists of a bath either dual purpose (500C & 1000C) or a boiling bath (1000C only) without stainless steel bomb and copper strips of definite size 6 bombs or 18 test tubes can be accommodate in each type of bath with different temperature regulation system to operate on 220 volts AC. mains. Accurate and Consistent Corrosion TestingThe Copper Strip Corrosion Test Apparatus enables reliable and repeatable evaluation of petroleum products corrosive effects on copper. Complying with ASTM D130, IS 1448 (P.15), and IP154 standards, the apparatus ensures that test results meet international criteria, which is vital for quality assurance in industrial and laboratory environments in India and worldwide.
Convenient Operation with Safety FeaturesThis model features a glass wool insulated bath, a practical drain valve, and the ability to operate from ambient temperature up to 100C. It includes a thermometer provision for precise monitoring and uses a magnetic stirring mechanism, ensuring consistent heating. Its manageable weight (approx. 7 kg) and capacity for four standard cylinders make it easy to handle and highly efficient for regular usage.
FAQs of Copper Strip Corrosion Test Apparatus:
Q: How does the Copper Strip Corrosion Test Apparatus work?
A: The apparatus tests the corrosiveness of petroleum products by immersing polished copper strips in the sample at controlled temperatures (up to 100C) and stirring the bath with a magnetic mechanism, then measuring visible corrosion per standard methods such as ASTM D130.
Q: What is the primary benefit of using this apparatus in laboratories or industries?
A: It allows precise and repeatable measurement of copper strip corrosion, essential for quality control in petroleum products, helping to prevent issues related to corrosion in engines or fuel systems.
Q: When should a corrosion test be performed with this apparatus?
A: Corrosion tests are typically conducted during new product development, quality assurance batches, or when assessing conformity to international standards for lubricants and fuels.
Q: Where is the Copper Strip Corrosion Test Apparatus most commonly used?
A: This apparatus is primarily used in laboratories, refineries, and quality control departments within the oil and gas industry as well as by exporters and manufacturers in India and abroad.
Q: What is the process for conducting a test with this equipment?
A: A polished copper strip is placed in a specified volume of the test liquid, heated in the insulated bath at up to 100C, and stirred with a magnetic mechanism for a defined duration. After the test, the copper strip is examined and rated for corrosion according to established standards.
Q: How many samples can the apparatus accommodate at one time?
A: It is equipped to hold four standard test cylinders, enabling the testing of multiple samples simultaneously for efficient throughput.
