Deadweight Testers

Deadweight Testing Equipment is an alternative to the Proof Ring technique for NACE TM 0177 to evaluate sulfide stress cracking and stress corrosion cracking behaviors of materials. Deadweight Testers use load cells for precise load control and measurement. Without the space constraints of a Proof Ring, they permit the use of custom vessels for testing larger specimens in corrosive High Temperature High Pressure (HPHT) Environments.

All standard Cortest pull-through vessels, flow controls, timer controls, and temperature controls are compatible with the deadweight testers. They are available in single and multiple channel configurations. Using the 24:1 lever arm, loads of up to 10,000 lbs can be applied to the specimen.
