ALLMC2 is very versatile and is extremely easy to use and can be used with all commercially available electrochemical measurement systems and can accommodate a wide variety of flat specimen geometries. The specific applications and features are discussed below.
Applications
The ALLMC2 can be used for nearly any electrochemical experiment including the following:
- Polarization
- Galvanic Corrosion
- Cyclic Voltametry
- Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
- Electrochemical Noise Measurement
All of the above experiments can be performed in de-aerated conditions.
Cell Features
The ALLMC2 design incorporates many innovative features which combine to produce a versatile and easy to use product. Some of the key features are listed below:
- Crevice free measurements achieved through the optional ALLMPM masking or high temperature coating material
- Integrated Luggin probe design minimizes uncompensated solution resistance
- Solution temperatures up to 80ºC with acrylic cell body and ends
- Solution temperatures up to 260ºC with Teflon cell body and ends
- Robust color-coded electrical connection
- Fittings provided for de-aeration
- Sample sizes up to 2 cm thick by any desired width can be used
- Sample test areas with diameters of up to 1.9 cm can be tested
- Drain line for safe solution disposal
- Fast/easy disassembly for cleaning
- Detachable counter electrodes
- Standard cells are constructed from acrylic and have a polycarbonate body
- Standard cell volumes range from 70 ml to 500 ml
Custom cells
ALLUM Corporation and partners also offers custom design and manufacturing services. Cells can be constructed with acrylic, polypropylene, or Teflon ends and any desired material for the body including glass. Various cell geometries can be accommodated. We will be happy to provide a price quote for a custom cell.
Standard ALLMC2 - acrylic (up to 80 C)
ALLMC2-SC with carbon counter electrode – aluminum ends are standard
ALLMC2-SP with Pt counter electrode (0.05 mm) – aluminum ends are standard
Boiling Water Experiment ALLMC2 - polycarbonate (up to 98 C)
ALLMC2-BC with carbon counter electrode – aluminum ends are standard
ALLMC2-BP with Pt counter electrode (0.05 mm) – aluminum ends are standard
High Temperature ALLMC2 - Teflon (up to 260 C)
ALLMC2-HC with Teflon ends and glass or Teflon body – carbon counter electrode
ALLMC2-HP with Teflon ends and glass or Teflon body – Pt counter electrode (0.05 mm)
NOTES:
- Aluminum ends are standard for the 80 C and the 98 C MCCs. Fiberlgass can be ordered and the only advantage is that the fiberglass will not stain for most dilute acids. However, the aluminum ends are more robust and staining with the acid solutions can be avoided by careful handling procedures.
- The standard cells are provided with a 22 mm diameter Teflon o-ring to seal against the test specimen. Different diameters can be specified with an additional value.
- The compression fitting on the reference electrode side of the cell can accommodate both of the standard glass 9 mm and 10 mm diameter reference electrodes.
- We offer a high temperature/high pressure Ag/AgCl reference electrode separately. Please contact us or more information.
