COPPER CUM SILVER CORROSION BATH WITH ALL ACCESSORIES - DIGITAL MODEL - ASTM D130, IP 227

Model Number : EIE-PTLT-106PD

Combined Copper Strip and Silver Strip Corrosion Test Bath, 6 Station, suitable for determination of corrosiveness of petroleum products towards copper and silver. The same thermostatically controlled bath can be configured with copper corrosion pressure vessels/test tubes or silver corrosion amber glass vessels with cold-finger condensers. Suitable for Copper Strip Corrosion Test as per ASTM D130, IS 1448 Part 15, ISO 2160 and IP 154, and Silver Strip Corrosion Test of aviation turbine fuel as per IP 227 / IP 227/99 and IS 1571:2018 Annex B. Supplied complete with copper and silver test strips, original corrosion comparison standards, copper pressure vessel, test tubes, amber silver-test vessel, cold-finger condenser, glass strip cradle, strip polishing accessories, forceps, test stands and closed-loop condenser cooling-water circulation system. Refrigerated water chiller and additional test assemblies are available as optional accessories.

Introduction:

  1. The Copper Strip Tarnish Test assesses the relative degree of corrosivity of petroleum products, including aviation fuels, automotive gasoline, natural gasoline, solvents, kerosene, diesel fuel, distillate fuel oil, lubricating oil and other products. This bath also tests the corrosiveness of aviation turbine fuels towards silver as per IP 227.
  2. A polished copper strip/Silver strip is immersed in fuel sample at elevated temperature. After the test period, the strip is examined for evidence of corrosion and a classification number from 1-4 is assigned, based on a comparison with the ASTM Corrosion Standards. 

Technical Specifications:

  1. Compact and unique design
  2. Aesthetically exterior appearance
  3. Double walled water bath
  4. Inner chamber is made of mirror polished  Stainless steel 304 grade material for corrosion resistance effect.
  5. Exterior body is fabricated from Mild steel material, which is powder coated in attractive shades
  6. Gap between inner chamber and exterior body is supplied with 65 mm thick insulation to prevent thermal heat loss.
  7. Temperature of the bath is controlled by Micro Processor Based Auto Tune Digital PID Temperature Controller Cum Indicator.
  8. Immersion Heaters are of stainless steel material which are fitted within the chamber
  9. Heaters are designed such that they have Long life and high safety zone 
  10. Stirring is accompanied by stainless steel stirrer with peddles, which will cause the uniform temperature distribution throughout the chamber.
  11. Stirring operation is supported through grease seal for reduced condensation losses.
  12. Temperature controller is isolated from vapors to prevent any damage to the electronic circuit.
  13. The bath has six test stations, each supplied with a lid and hook for suspending either a copper corrosion test vessel (copper corrosion test) or a test tube support (silver corrosion test). 
  14. A test tube support can hold up to three test tubes at a time for silver corrosion test. 
  15. Any combination of copper corrosion vessels and test tube supports may be used to conduct the experiments.
  16. Supplied complete with following listed accessories and instruction manual.

Following Accessories will be the part of standard supply:

  1. Copper Corrosion test vessel, stainless steel with O rings, screw type cap, for use up to 100 psi. - 1 No
