COPPER STRIP CORROSION TEST APPARATUS
Model Number: SW-CC-1001
Compliance Standard : ASTM D130, IS 1448 Part-15
The Copper Strip Corrosion Test Apparatus is designed to determine the corrosive effect of petroleum products, oils, lubricants, and other chemicals on copper materials. The test measures the degree of corrosion by immersing a clean copper strip into the test fluid and heating it under controlled conditions. This apparatus is essential for evaluating the compatibility and quality of fuels and lubricants.
Key Features:
- • Complies with ASTM D130 standards for accurate corrosion measurement.
- • Simple and easy to operate with intuitive controls.
- • Reliable results for assessing corrosion in oils, lubricants, and fuels.
- • Equipped with an adjustable temperature control system to maintain the required test conditions.
- • Includes a corrosion rating scale for easy interpretation of results (0-4).
- • Precision temperature control allows for highly reproducible results.
- • Sturdy construction ensures long-lasting performance in a laboratory environment.
- • Suitable for both research and quality control testing.
Applications:
- • Determining the corrosive properties of petroleum-based products such as oils, fuels, and lubricants.
