• LPG Copper Strip Corrosion Test Apparatus

LPG Copper Strip Corrosion Test Apparatus


Tests the corrosiveness of LPG to copper by immersion of a polished test strip in the sample inside a test cylinder at elevated temperature. After one hour the test strip is removed and compared against the ASTM Copper Strip Corrosion Standards.

  • Conforms to ASTM D1838 and related specifications
  • Capacity for 5 samples
  • Consists of LPG Corrosion Test Cylinders, Water Bath, Copper Strips, Polishing Materials, and the ASTM Copper Strip Corrosion Test Standards
LPG Corrosion Test Water Bath

Temperature-controlled water bath submerges five LPG Corrosion Test Cylinders in an upright position. Controls temperature at 100 ± 1°F (37.8 ± 0.5°C) per ASTM specifications. Polished stainless steel inner wall and powder coated steel outer wall construction. Fully insulated.

LPG Corrosion Test Cylinder

Stainless steel cylinder with 1⁄4” needle valves for purging and admitting LPG samples. Dip tube with hook suspends copper strip in sample. Knurled, threaded cap with O-ring gasket hand tightens to a positive seal. Withstands hydrostatic test pressure of 1000 psig (6895 kPa).
