The autoclave has a 3L titanium pressure vessel, a tensile machine with a stroke of 24 mm and a maximum force of 30 kN, which enables tensile tests (SSRT, const. load) and a manual manipulator for removing the sample.
Electrochemical experiments can also be performed during testing. It has 4 cable conductors (for connecting the sample and potentiostat) and a dedicated Cu/Cu2O/ZrO2 reference electrode.
The circulation system automatically regulates the amount of dissolved O2 (20-3000 ppb) and performs water purification (conductivity below 0.1 uS/cm). The flow is adjustable in the range of 0.2-0.3 L/min.
Access to the equipment together with a qualified operator is possible by prior agreement. The price of the investigation depends on its complexity.
The equipment was 50 % co-financed by ARRS (ARIS) as part of the Public Tender for co-financing the purchase of research equipment (A package 14 and 17).
