Stress Corrosion Cracking 

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

PLC Controlled Loading Devices

PLC-controlled loading devices are used in applications where constant load tests (ASTM G44 / ASTM G47 / NACE TM0177 Method A) or step-wise constant load or

Proof Rings

One of the most affordable and simple loading devices for constant load tests is the Proof Ring, whose operating principle has been defined in NACE TM0177

Ambient Environment

The loading devices can be operated in ambient, high-temperature and high-temperature high-pressure environments.

High-Temperature Gas Environment

The ambient testing cell can be replaced with a furnace for high-temperature gas environment testing. The operation temperature depends on the furnace type,

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-

Testing Loops

Recirculation loops are used in laboratories to simulate field operating environment for example in power plants, pipelines, steam turbines,

DCPD

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

LVDT

LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) is an essential tool for accurate strain measurement at the specimens test section. LVDT sensor converts a linear

Four Point Bending Frames

The four point bending frame (FPB) operation is introduced in NACE TM0177 Method B, NACE TM0316 and ASTM G39. FPB is a simple and affordable constant

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
