Corrosion represents a fundamental factor, not only for the life cycle and security of the industrial plants, but also for all the constructions (buildings, machine, bridges, etc.) containing metallic components. With this system it is possible to study the main factors that influence corrosion, using 8 cells which can contain up to six samples; cells are stirred by blowing air or inert gas. A digital pH-meter enables to control correctness of the test solutions, while a low-voltage power supply enables to study the electrochemical corrosion.
