Description
This basic corrosion package includes nearly everything you need to get started with corrosion measurements.
The included instrument is the EmStat4S HR, which is a small research-grade potentiostat and galvanostat. The EmStat4S HR without EIS supports the most common electrochemical techniques used for corrosion analysis. These techniques include Potentiostatic Polarization, Linear Polarization, Cyclic Polarization, Corrosion potential measurements as well as applying a constant potential and measuring the open circuit potential (EOC). It has a wide range of current ranges available and supports a maximum currrent up to 200 mA for determining corrosion rates. The instrument comes with PSTrace5 software which allows for different corrosion analytical techniques for automatic or manual analysis.
Together with our Corrosion Handbook and the Corrosion Cell Kit, it makes a good combination to get going with electrochemical corrosion studies.
