Investigating material response to gases such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and syngas helps engineers select appropriate materials for energy storage and transportation and optimize materials for use in transportation, civil engineering and biomedical applications.
Exposure to atmospheric gases can cause corrosion of metals and composite materials, a condition that can be made worse in high-temperature or high-pressure environments. To measure a material’s response to corrosive gases, liquids and fluids, Top Industrie offers an integrated testing solution using their tailor-made autoclaves, and MTS Landmark® test systems and accessories. They have successfully implemented several of these corrosion testing solutions in Europe.
Attaching an MTS Model 634 Axial Extensometer to the specimen before it is tested inside the autoclave.
An MTS extensometer measures specimen strain inside the enclosed autoclave during a gas corrosion test.
An MTS Model 632 Clip-On Displacement Gage is used for fracture mechanics applications in the autoclave.
