Title: TOROID ROTATOR FOR SMALL-SCALE DYNAMIC CORROSION STUDIES-DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND OPERATION

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4195676· OSTI ID:4195676

A description of the four-toroid rotator, a relatively simple apparatus particularly applicable to the determination of the corrosive effects of flowing solutions or slurries on structural materials, is presented in detail. In this apparatus flow of a liquid medium at known velocities is induced in a circular section of pipe without the use of pumps. Included are details of mechanical design, descriptions of equipment and instrumentation, a list of fabrication costs, and a discussion of operational experience. (auth)
