Corrosion Study Unit | ReaktiLabX – 04
The Corrosion Study Unit ReaktiLabX – 04 investigates corrosion behavior and protection measures using 8 glass electrolyte vessels. This Corrosion Study Unit tests stainless steel, steel, copper, brass, and aluminum specimens under varying pH, salt concentration, and voltage conditions. It features an adjustable power pack, diaphragm pump, and manual pH measurement for comprehensive corrosion analysis. External voltage, sacrificial anodes, and protective layers are all studied for corrosion protection.
The Corrosion Study Unit ReaktiLabX – 04 enables the simultaneous investigation of a number of variables that affect corrosion processes. This Corrosion Study Unit uses eight glass jars to compare various materials in a variety of settings, with samples submerged in the necessary electrolyte solution. It supports studies of sacrificial anodes, local components, and external voltage effects on corrosion.
Product Overview
The economic and technical costs of corrosion damage to metallic components are significant. This means that the topic of corrosion and corrosion protection is crucial to technical education. The equipment enables the simultaneous investigation of a number of variables that affect corrosion processes. This can be accomplished with eight glass jars. They enable the comparison of various materials in a variety of settings. We fill the jars with the necessary electrolyte solution.
Each vessel’s lid can hold up to six samples, which are then submerged in the solution. In order to study the concept of sacrificial anodes and local components, specimens might be connected to an electrical conductor. A connection to an external voltage is possible with an adjustable power supply on this Corrosion Study Unit.
This reverses the flow of precious and common metals in the local elements. The more basic metals corrode at a slower rate as a result. Whenever necessary, a pump introduces ambient air into the electrolyte solution. Each vessel’s gas flow rate can be customized using flow control valves. Additionally, additional gases from the lab may be injected into the electrolyte solution. The impact of the electrolyte solution on corrosion processes can be researched and compared using a pH meter.

Construction and Design
The Corrosion Study Unit ReaktiLabX – 04 consists of 8 electrolyte vessels, made of glass with a capacity of 1000mL each, fitted with covers and 6 specimen holders per vessel. Specimens include stainless steel, steel, copper, brass, and aluminum, 5 of each material. An adjustable power pack, rated 0 to 30VDC and 0 to 5A, applies external voltage to specimens connected via electrical conductor for sacrificial anode and local component studies. A diaphragm pump, flow rated approximately 250L/h, introduces ambient air into the electrolyte solution as needed, with a reversing valve allowing air or external gas supply at a pressure range of 0.2 to 1bar. Each vessel’s gas flow rate is customized using flow control valves. A manual unit records the pH value of electrolyte solutions, with a measuring range of 0 to 14 and a resolution of 0.01.
