FC 1 FIELD CELL FOR

CORROSION

MEASUREMENTS ON

SITE

When corrosion tests on site are required, the

object usually is a pipe, a vessel or any kind of

metallic wall. To measure its corrosion

behaviour, without destroying it, you need a

special corrosion cell, which allows to use the

wall material directly as working electrode of

your system.

The FC 1 Field Cell is a special cell for corrosion

tests on site. Its small size and the novel shape

gives access to walls at any angle between -

110° and +110°. The cell is made of perspex, so

you see what is developing inside. A magnetic

vice is used to keep the cell in place when

working on ferritic steels. For work on other

metals, a vacuum vice is available to clamp the

cell to smooth surfaces. Only on very rough

surfaces, the cell needs silicon rubber sealing.

The platinum counter electrode is mounted

within the cell, the reference electrode is

separated in an attached container. A fine frit

between reference electrode container and the

bulk solution acts both as salt bridge and Haber

- Luggin capillary, as its tip ends close to the

wall which is used as working electrode.

No problems with

vertical or curved

walls!
