The jacketed cell vessel has a content of one litre. There is an inlet and an outlet present for water or other heating or cooling liquid. On the top side of the vessel there is a position available for the Polypropylene (PP) sample holder and a small drain is available to empty the cell.

1.3 – Ag/AgCl reference electrode

The reference electrode is filled with 3 M KCl solution. Please make sure that the electrode contains enough solution during the measurement. This electrode is connected to the blue banana plug (RE) of the cell cable. The electrode should be placed inside the capillary. The Luggin capillary is fitted with a spherical ball joint which allows positioning of the capillary tip with respect to the sample holder.

Please make sure that when mounting the sample holder, the position of the Luggin capillary is such that the tip of the capillary is located directly in front of the sample holder.

The standard reference electrode potential is 210 mV ± 5 mV with respect to the Standard Hydrogen Electrode (SHE).

Figure 3 – Overview of the sample holder and the mounting/unmounting procedure

The sample holder can then be placed into the cell in such a way that the distance between the sample and the Luggin capillary is minimised. Connection to the sample is made by connecting the WE cable of the Autolab to the sample holder. On delivery the sample holder contains one test sample.

The test procedure for this sample is a potential scan from - 0.2 V vs the open circuit potential to + 0.1 V vs the open circuit potential, with a sweep rate of 1 mV/s in a 0.1 M KCl solution at room temperature. The resulting curve should give a polarisation resistance of approximatively 300 Ohm.

The sample holder is used to mount a metal sample on which a corrosion analysis needs to be performed. The sample holder can be disassembled by removing the screw on one side and taking out the contact pin. The sample can be placed in the holder itself, on top of the Viton O-ring that is present at the end of the holder. The contact pin can be placed back and tightened with the screw. A spring mechanism inside the pin ensures that the pressure on the sample is such that leakage is avoided. The sample holder can then be placed into the cell in such a way that the distance between the sample and the capillary is minimised. Connection to the sample is made by connecting the WE cable of the Autolab to the sample holder. On delivery the sample holder contains one test sample. The diameter of the sample is 14 mm.
