IPS TubeCell is an in-house developed measuring cell with the unique ability to be integrated into a tensile testing machine. It is designed for the examination of samples, which are to be placed in an electrolyte during a tensile test. The cell, which cannot be heated, has a round lid and a base plate made of PP (thickness 20 mm, diameter 140 mm). It has a central borehole with a diameter of 10.5 mm for inserting round test specimens. Side bolts with nuts screw the base, glass, and lid together. O-rings seal the glass to the base/lid. The cell operates without overpressure.
Typical applications:
- Corrosion experiments in combination with external load
- Corrosion tests with different substances
- Loading of material specimens with hydrogen under superimposed external load
- Use in the determination of tensile test characteristics under the influence of hydrogen or fluids
