Corrosion Testing Autoclaves LECTA

Corrosion Testing Autoclaves LECTA have been designed and manufactured, primarily for the oil and gas industry. The equipment can also be used in a number of other industries to simulate high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) environments such as nuclear, geothermal, carbon capture and storage, energy, defence, pharmaceutical and many more industries. The system has been designed to suit both industry and academic

The autoclave’s primary use is to evaluate material, coating or inhibitor performance, corrosion failure analysis in the form of weight loss coupons or electrochemical studies in aggressive high pressure (HP) and high temperature (HT) environments representative of the conditions found in the field throughout the oil and gas industry.

Available Products:
- Rotating Cage Autoclave
- 3-6 Coupon Rotating Cylinder Electrode (RCE) Autoclave
- Chemical Injection Autoclave
- Coupon Insertion/retraction Autoclave (Patented product)
* Specification suited to SA and HPHT Models based on your requirements.

Key Benefits

High levels of built in safety: impossible to open autoclave whilst pressurised
Ease of use and handling: one bolt fast release open/closure and lifting/lowering system
Modular in design: vessel stand (suitable for fume cupboards), vessel design and optional features
Enhanced process control: minimise heat-up time and pre-corrosion
Corrosion monitoring system available: built-in electrochemistry and potentiostat
Corrosion expertise: ongoing technical support throughout the product life
