Recirculating or multiphase Test Loop
Recirculation loops are key systems for testing in corrosive environments, providing precise control over test conditions while maintaining a stable environment around the specimen. Designed for a variety of industrial applications, these loops allow for realistic simulation of conditions, particularly in the oil and gas industry, seawater environments, and nuclear power plants.
Benefits of Recirculation Loops
Maintaining the test Environment
Recirculating water flow keeps the test conditions consistent around the specimen, ensuring reliable and reproducible results.
Control of Dissolved Corrosion Products
Dissolved corrosion products do not affect the chemistry of the test environment due to the large volume of water in circulation. This allows for more accurate data on the performance of tested materials.
Purification of Test Water
Test water can be continuously purified using an ion exchanger and an active carbon filter, ensuring a clean and controlled test environment.
Maintaining Dissolved Gas Concentration
The concentration of dissolved gases, such as H2 and O2, can be maintained in the storage tank, ensuring that the test conditions remain stable throughout the experiment.
Online Monitoring and Control
Water chemistry can be monitored and controlled in real-time using analyzers for H2, O2, pH, and conductivity, providing detailed data and ensuring that the test conditions are precisely maintained.
