Cormet manufactures a range of different instruments for high pressure and high temperature, water chemistry and electrochemical testing.

We offer various sensors for electrochemical testing and control of the chemical composition of water:

• Ag/AgCl reference electrode for temperature 300°C and pressure 18 MPa.
• Pd/H2 reference electrode for temperatures 300°C / 350°C and pressure 18 MPa.
• Cu/Cu2O/ZrO2 or Ni/NiO/ZrO2 reference electrode / pH probe for temperature 300°C / 350°C and pressure 18 MPa.
• Conductivity electrode for temperature 300°C and pressure 18 MPa.
• Platinum redox probe for 300°C / 350°C.
• Corrosion probe/working electrode for 300°C/350°C

These sensors can be attached to any type of autoclave, flow cell and pressure vessel, provided the appropriate ports are available.

Trendchem

The Trendchem product family includes water chemistry monitoring sensors, cell flow sensors and data acquisition systems. They are used to control chemical composition parameters and perform electrochemical analyses. Trendchem can be installed in a power plant, in a process line or integrated into a recirculation loop.

Contact Electrical Resistance Method (CER)

Measurement of Contact Electrical Resistance (CER method) is a method that allows one to study the formation of surface films. It measures the electrical conductivity of surface films using the direct current (CER) or alternating current (CEI) principle. The CER method is typically used to detect surface films, monitor growth kinetics, and determine semiconductor properties, i.e. obtaining all the necessary information about the structure and defects of the film.

CER/CEI methods are often used in corrosive environments, at high temperature and pressure, where other electrochemical methods do not work, for example, in supercritical aqueous media at a temperature of 600°C and a pressure of 30 MPa.
