Take the guesswork out of fluid/metal compatibility

The DIGIGALV system 

Digi_Win Datasheet                                 Version 1.6 June.00

OVERVIEW Select Language
Adjust fluid  Formulations And see Effects in Real-time The DIGIGALV System is an innovative chemical electronics technique, which offers lubricant developers instant evaluation of corrosion inhibitor performance in machining coolants, and engineering water based fluids. The freeze/split feature allows the user to visualize the effects of inhibitor additions at any point in a test. User interaction allows probe metal channels to be switched in or out from the virtual instrument panel displayed onscreen whilst the test is running.
Instant Screening of Fluids
The galvanic interactions of upto seven metals located in a test probe can be instantly evaluated when immersed into a test fluid. Current vs Time plots allow persistence testing of inhibitor systems and are typically used to display inhibitor breakdown/oxidation at increasing temperatures. The instrument display ranges from 1uA-10uA HIGH and 100uA-1mA in the LOW range settings. Range selection at the click of a button gives the flexibility to test from saline to highly resistive fluid media.
Instant Screening of Fluids Test probes can be manufactured to emulate standard IP329 and ASTM 1384 tests. The magnitude of galvanic currents that flow between the test metals is displayed in real-time in a histogram format on the computer screen.
