Electrochemical testing - part 3- What does an ammeter do?

 Electrochemical testing - 3 - Ammeter

Poll Question WITH Answers:


Description:


Tafel polarization is a potentiodynamic test, where the potential is changed at a certain mV/time rate.


The changes in the current flow occurring due to the potential change are measured using the ammeter.

The ammeter is connected between the working electrode and the counter electrode.

It is NOT connected to the reference electrode in any way.

Important terms in API certifications - CRV & IOW - II

CRV can be understood by using a simple example of milk kept for boiling in a pot on a stove. The motive, i.e. the reliability of this process has two main factors - 1) The milk should boil. 2) It should remain the vessel and not overflow. There are three critical variables here - Temperature  Why is this a critical variable?  Answer: The melting point of milk is 92 degrees C. That is the optimum level. If temperature is too low (30 degrees C), the milk may not boil at all. If the temperature is too high (200 degrees C), it may burn quickly. Vessel dimension = volume of milk is 1 ltr Why is this a critical variable?  Answer:  Vessel volume < 1 ltr, milk will not fit in it in the first at all. Vessel volume = 1 ltr, milk will fit, but will overflow on boiling Vessel volume >1 ltr, milk will fit and not overflow. Time Why is this variable critical? If the other two variable are at the optimum level, then -  Too less time (~ 1 min), insufficient for milk to r...
