--Introduction-- Introduction The Universal Dummy Cell 3 (UDC 32) is a printed circuit board used for calibration and troubleshooting of a Gamry potentiostat. It has 3 “test cells” equipped with terminals, arranged around the boarders of the printed circuit board.

--DC Corrosion-- DC Corrosion The UDC 2’s DC Corrosion circuit simulates current versus voltage behavior of an ideal corrosion cell. A voltage scan on this cell, with current range auto-ranging enabled, is particularly useful when testing potentiostat operation because almost all current ranges will be used during the scan.

--DC Corrosion-- A Tafel fit of a typical scan (both with and without iR compensation) can be seen below. Both the anodic and cathodic Tafel constants were calculated to be between 60 and 70 mV per decade. The calculated corrosion rate is quite small (about 10 mm/year) because of the very small I (about 10...
