Cormet offers a variety of load devices for stress corrosion cracking (SCC), sulfide stress cracking (SSCC), hydrogen cracking (HIC), fracture mechanics and fatigue testing.

The test ring is the simplest and most affordable load device. Cormet offers test rings with loads of 10-20 kN and 20-38 kN. The most common type of test piece is a round tensile test piece that is passed through the lids of the test cell. Holders for flat specimens are also available, and individual holders can be made upon customer's request. A load cell can be added to the test ring to control the test load during longer tests as well as creep.

Electromechanical devices are the main equipment in studies of stress corrosion cracking. This system is PC controlled and allows low strain rate (SSRT), constant load (CL) and low cycle fatigue (LFCF) tests. Loading devices can be built into the autoclave and used both at room and elevated temperatures, as well as in high-temperature gas environments. There are a number of models, among which the most popular are devices with a load of 10 kN, 25 kN and 50 kN. The versatility and flexibility of the software allows you to simulate load processes using special graphs that can be combined or combined into a series.

The maximum cyclic load of the Cormet electromechanical tool reaches a frequency of about 0.1 Hz, depending on the amplitude, mode and the specified load schedule. Servo-hydraulic tools are required when working at a higher frequency. This instrument can also be built into an autoclave.

The basis of the HIC instrument is a conventional glass container. It is possible to install additional accessories such as: gas flow meter, meters, water trap, fume hood, ventilation and gas neutralization devices. The HIC testing procedure is described in NACE TM0284-2011

FPB four-point bending studies are often performed in HIC rooms. Four point bending (FPB) studies are described in NACE TM0177-05 Method B, ASTM G 39-2011 and ISO 7539-2 (1989).

Dead load tools are used to evaluate critical stresses in a given environment using the value of (TTF) time to break. NACE TM0177-05 Method A and ASTM G 47 – 98 (2004) Standards Describes options for conducting tests for continuous load. Cormet also offers (CL) devices with both manual (spring) and automatically controlled actuators.
