Setup 1. Carefully remove the instrument from the crate and place in a suitable
location away from high trafc areas.
Make sure all valves are either closed or in the “Off” position.
2. Connect an air or nitrogen source (100 - 120 PSI) to the “Air Supply”
port on the back of the instrument. Also connect the “Water Supply” and
“Water Drain” ports.
All supply ports are ¼" female NPT connectors.
3. The “WASTE” port should rmly attached to a waste container which is
suitable for handling corrosive uids.
Fluids that enter the waste container should never be reused. They
will contain acids that may damage the pump and other important
components.
4. Remove the cap from the oil reservoir. Fill the reservoir with white mineral
oil. Use the sight glass located on the right side of cabinet to monitor the
reservoir level. It should be lled to approximately ½" from the top of the
sight glass.
5. Connect the control unit using the large cable supplied with the unit. The
connector ports are located on the back of each cabinet. The connectors
on both ends should be screwed together until they are rmly in place.
6. Attach the thermocouple cable to both units. The thermocouple
connectors are located on the back of both units.
7. Ensure that all electrical switches are off and plug the unit into a grounded
electrical outlet. The electrical socket is located on the back of the unit. A
220-VAC, 20-amp power source is recommended.

Testing
Beginning a Test
1. Before starting a test turn all electrical switches off and close all
valves. Make sure the regulator on the front panel is turned fully
counterclockwise.
2. Prepare the acid solution and pour it into the sample bottles. The bottle
should be approximately 75% full.
3. Add the corrosion inhibitor to the acid and mix.
4. Prepare the corrosion coupons and record the initial weight.
5. Turn the “Main” power switch on. The green light on the front of the unit
will turn on to indicate the power is on.
6. Remove the cap from the test cell and pour mineral oil into the cell to a
depth of 3.5" to 4".
7. Use the up and down arrow keys on the temperature controller to adjust
the set point temperature to 150°F.
8. Turn the “Heat” switch on to pre-heat the mineral oil to 150°F. The “Heat
On” light will come on to indicate that the heaters are engaged.
9. Once the mineral oil is heated to 150°F, add the coupons to the sample
bottles and record the time.
10. Cap the sample bottles with the plastic screw caps. The caps have holes
to allow pressure equilibrium.
11. Place the bottles into the sample rack and place the rack into the test cell
using the lift bail. Remove the lift bail and record the time.

12. Lubricate the cell cap o-ring with petroleum jelly or white lithium grease
and apply anti-seize compound (165-44-2) to the cell cap threads. Screw
the cell cap into the test cell.
13. Open the cell cap plug ¼ turn. This will allow air to escape while the cell
lls with mineral oil. Hold a ⅝" wrench on the nut and be prepared to
tighten it as soon as you see oil leaking form the vent hole in the cell.

14. Turn the center valve to “Fill Cell”. Air will force mineral oil from the
reservoir into the test cell.
15. Turn the “Motor” switch on to activate the agitation system.
16. Turn the “Drive Coolant” valve on. The drive coolant keeps the magnetic
drive system cool while the heaters are on.
17. Turn the “Pump” switch on. Apply pressure to the test cell by turning
the regulator clockwise until you reach the desired pressure. Corrosion
testing is commonly performed at 2,500 ± 500 PSI.
18. Use the up and down arrow keys on the temperature controller to set the
test temperature.
While heating the system, the pressure inside the test cell will
increase due to thermal expansion. Maintain the proper test
pressure by slowly opening the “Pressure Release” valve. Once the
cell reaches the nal test temperature, the pressure should stop
increasing.
19. Start the test exactly ve minutes after the mineral oil reaches the test
temperature. Record the test time, temperature, and pressure at the start
of the test.

Testing
Ending a Test
1. When the test is complete, turn the “Heat” switch off and set the
temperature control to 32°F.
2. Turn the “Cool” switch on. Do not release the pressure or turn off the
pump until the test cell cools down to 180°F.
3. Once the cell is cool, turn the “Pump” switch off and turn the regulator
completely counterclockwise.
4. Slowly turn the center valve to “Vent” to expel the air.
5. When you no longer hear the air venting, slowly open the “Pressure
Release” valve. The pressure gauge will return to zero.
6. Turn the “Motor” switch off.
7. Turn the “Drive Coolant” valve off.
8. Open the “Air to Cylinder” valve. Air pressure will force mineral oil from
the test cell and out the “Waste” port. When you hear air discharging from
the “Waste” port, close the “Air to Cylinder” valve.
9. Loosen the cell cap plug with a ⅝" wrench.
10. Unscrew the cell cap from the test cell and remove the sample rack.
11. Remove the corrosion coupons from the sample bottles and neutralize
them in sodium bicarbonate solution. Record the time the coupons are
neutralized.
12. Wash the test cell with ammoniated water.
13. Remove excess uid from the test cell with paper towels. Dry thoroughly.
14. Pour mineral oil into the cell until it comes to the top of the internal drive
spindle located in the middle of the cell. Replace the cell cap to prevent
foreign objects from entering the cell.
15. Clean and weigh the corrosion coupons. Inspect them for pitting and
record the weight loss and metal condition.
16. Report the inhibitor performance as weight loss (mg) per time exposed.
17. Close all valves and turn all switches off.

Appendix
Temperature Controller
The Eurotherm Model 2404 Temperature Controller is the most important
component of the temperature control system and it is strongly recommended
that operators carefully study the Model 2404 instruction manual included
with the Corrosion Tester.
If a test requires a custom program, it is important to build and save the
program prior to creating the acid solution and loading the sample bottles.
Below is an example that illustrates how to program the controller. In this
example, you want the test cell to heat to 350° in one hour and hold for four
hours.
Press the “Page” button three times, and you will see “ProG List.” Use the
“Scroll” button to decide which setting to change. Use the arrow buttons to
change the values for that setting.

For the test described on the previous page, you will want the following
settings:
ProG List Setting Explanation
Segn 1 (segment 1)
Type rmp.t (ramp time - other choices include ramp rate and
dwell)
Tgt 350 (nal temperature)
Time 60 (reach target temperature in 60 minutes)

Segn 3 (segment 3)
Type end This is the last segment
End.t sop Stop the heat
To run the test, push and hold the “Run/Hold” button until the light for Run turns
on. To stop the test, push and hold the “Run/Hold” button until the light for Run
and Hold both turn off. Be sure and turn the “HEAT” switch off as well.

Temperature Controller Alarm
The temperature controller utilizes a high alarm setpoint which will bring the
unit to an alarm condition if the temperature ever exceeds this value. An
alarm condition is evidenced by the ashing of “1FSH” in the display. In an
alarm condition an audible alarm will sound (if the “Sonalert” switch is on),
the “Alarm” switch will illuminate, the agitation system will stop, and the pump
and heating systems will shut off.
If the thermocouple wire is disengaged an alarm condition will occur.
The high alarm set point is adjusted to 400°F at the factory. To adjust the high
alarm setpoint perform the following.
1. Press the “Page” key four times. “ACCESS” will appear.
2. Press the scroll key once. “CODE” will appear.
3. Press the up arrow once. “1” will appear and change to “PASS”.
4. Press the scroll key once. “GOTO-OPER” will appear.
5. Press the down arrow three times. “FULL” will appear, wait until it blinks.
6. Press the “PAGE” key six times. “AL-LIST” will appear.
7. Press the scroll key one time. “1FSH” will appear.
8. Use the up and down arrow keys to adjust the alarm setpoint to the
required value.
9. Press the “PAGE” key nine times to return to the default display.
