About Copper Strip Corrosion Test Apparatus -Digital
Copper Strip Corrosion Test App. (Digital): The Copper Strip Tarnish Test assesses the relative degree of corrosivity of petroleum products, including aviation fuels, automotive gasoline, natural gasoline, solvents, kerosene, diesel fuel, distillate fuel oil, lubricating oil and other products. A polished copper strip is immersed in 30 mL of sample at elevated temperature. After the test period, the strip is examined for evidence of corrosion and a classification number from 1 4 is assigned based on a comparison with the ASTM Copper Strip Corrosion Standards. Supplied with One no.each S.S. BOMB (Copper Corrosion test vessel, stainless steel with O rings, screw type cap, for use up to 100 psi), Glass Test Tube, Copper strip (Pack of 3) Indian make laminated corrosion comparison chart and Glass Thermometer.

FAQs of Copper Strip Corrosion Test Apparatus -Digital:
Q: How does the Copper Strip Corrosion Test Apparatus - Digital operate?
A: This apparatus works by immersing a polished copper strip in a sample of petroleum or similar fluid, then heating the mixture under controlled conditions. The digital display monitors the test parameters, allowing precise assessment of corrosiveness based on the appearance of the copper strip after the test.
Q: What is the main usage of this test apparatus?
A: Its primary use is to evaluate the potential of petroleum products to corrode copper, indicating the presence of corrosive impurities. This helps manufacturers and traders ensure product quality and certify compliance with regulatory standards.
Q: When should this apparatus be used for testing?
A: It should be used whenever a new batch of fuel, lubricant, or other petroleum-based product is produced, shipped, or imported. Routine testing is recommended to maintain quality assurance and customer trust.
Q: Where is the Copper Strip Corrosion Test Apparatus commonly installed?
A: These units are widely found in industrial laboratories, quality control centers, oil refineries, and research facilities throughout India and in organizations exporting petroleum products.
Q: What is the process for conducting a corrosion test using this apparatus?
A: A prepared copper strip is immersed in the test sample, which is heated as per standard test protocols. After the specified period, the strip is removed, rinsed, and visually compared to standard color codes to determine the level of corrosion.
Q: What are the benefits of using the digital model of this apparatus?
A: The digital model offers accurate monitoring, ease of operation, and reliable data recording. It enhances user confidence in results, reduces human error, and supports regulatory compliance with minimum effort.
