IRON SATURATION MODULES FOR CORROSION OR CORROSION-FATIGUE TESTS

摘要

A test apparatus (12) and a method of testing a sample (30) are disclosed. Themethodcomprises receiving a test sample (30) within a test chamber (14), the testchamber(14) containing two or more iron saturation elements (2) separated by a spacer(16);and filling the test chamber (14) with a test solution, the iron saturationelements (2)being arranged to saturate the test solution with iron. Each iron saturationelement (2)is shaped such that it has a predetermined surface area such that the ratio ofthevolume of the test solution to the surface area of the iron saturationelements (2) andthe test sample (30) exposed to the test solution can be calculated.
