OFITE - Aging Cells

Aging Cells

The OFITE Aging Cell is a patented (U.S. Patent No. 4,805,443) pressure vessel that enables samples to be subjected to temperatures higher than the boiling point of water and still be maintained in a liquid state. The cells may be used for static temperature exposure or in a dynamic mode in a roller oven with a preset minimum aging time. OFITE Aging Cells are available in 260 ml and 500 ml sizes and utilize both Viton® and Teflon® O-Ring seals. Aging cells are typically constructed of grade 303 or 316 stainless steel and are used for high temperature testing (up to 450°F). For prolonged exposure to elevated salinity at high temperatures (e.g., 20,000 mg/l chlorides at 350°F), cells constructed from premium metals, such as Hastalloy® or Inconel® 600 are available from OFITE. For corrosion testing, a special 500 ml, grade 303 stainless steel Corrosion Test Cell is available with a modified inner cap designed to hold a corrosion coupon. The aging cell walls may be protected against corrosive fluids by using the popular Teflon® liner designed by OFITE. An optional calibrated rupture disk is available, which can be installed in the inner cap to rupture and release pressure at a predetermined set point. OFITE can retrofit the rupture disc to existing cells.
