Power Generation

LVDT

LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) is an essential tool for accurate strain measurement at the specimen's test section.

SCC Tests In SCW Environment

Supercritical water cooled reactor is one of the potential next generation nuclear power plant concepts. The supercritical water (SCW) environment is

X-ray Diffraction Instrument

It is generally known that the stainless steels have a two-layer oxide film composed of an inner compact layer rich in Cr and a porous outer layer with large magnetite and small spinel crystallites.

Testing Cell for Gamma Irradiation Tests

Gamma irradiation causes radiolysis in the nuclear power plant core.

Testing Cell for Proton Beam Irradiation Radiolysis

Proton and neutron beams are used to simulate the radiolysis effect taking place in a nuclear core.

Testing Cell for Online DIC and Raman Spectroscopy

Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique can be used for the monitoring of the specimen strain, the specimen deformation, the crack initiation and early crack growth.

High-Speed Loops

A high-speed loop is a versatile instrument to study the effects of flow on corrosion and electrochemical behaviour of materials.

Vacuum Cell With a Heated/Cooled Specimen

Irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) cracking is a corrosion phenomenon in which the material properties, stress, environment, irradiation and material aging effects are combined.

DCPD

Cormet’s reverse current direct current potential drop (DC PD) is used for monitoring the crack-growth rate of CT and SENB specimens.

Testing Loops

Recirculation loops are used in laboratories to simulate field operating environment for example in power plants, pipelines, steam turbines, supercritical water and CO2 and deep sea applications, etc.

High-Temperature High-Pressure Environment

An electromechanical loading device can be integrated with a pressure vessel. Applications are related to the power generation construction material and off-

PC Controlled Loading Devices

Cormet’s workhorse for SCC tests is a PC-operated electromechanical loading device. It can perform Slow Strain Rate Tests (SSRT), Constant Load (CL) tests and
