explanation

Potentiostat is an instrument to measure as well as apply potential and current.

It includes a voltmeter and an ammeter. The voltmeter may also be called an electrometer.

It is connected between the working and the reference electrode.

Its main function is to measure the potential of the working electrode.

It is a crucial component because all the experiments require an accurate measurement of the potential to determine their further potential or current variation.

What is a Corrosion Loop - PART 1 - CONCEPT

By
Corrosion loop is used to simplify inspection procedures in refining processes. Corrosion loop is defined as a group of components with common materials, processes, and operating parameters.  Source: Rachman, A. and Ratnayake, R.M.C. (2020), "Corrosion loop development of oil and gas piping system based on machine learning and group technology method", Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, Vol. 26 No. 3, pp. 349-368. https://doi.org/10.1108/JQME-07-2018-0058 It is needed when the scenario has - 1. Complex process 2. Several variables such a materials of construction, process parameters, functions 3.

Isocorrosion chart snapshot

By
  concept Isocorrosion chart Use Estimate corrosion rates for an alloy Select an alloy for a particular application with specific parameters Definition A plot of temperature versus electrolyte concentration, with lines depicting combination where similar corrosion rates are found example how to use it? An application needs a temperature and concentration as depicted by point 1 in the image above. We can plot it on the isocorrosion chart for that alloy and estimate the corrosion rate. The design of the component and corrosion allowance can be decided accordingly. A method to determine the suitability of the alloy for an application and electrolyte-temperature combination. Video below for practical demo of the use of the chart! Dive Deeper: Tips to begin experiments Do you like to solve quizzes ? https://corrospective.com 😀 Happy learning! 😀
