Pay careful attention to cell cleanliness. In many corrosion-testing situations, contaminants in
the cell and test solution are not a problem if you take minimal precautions. In other cases, trace
contaminants can lead to poorly reproducible results. One example is a study of corrosion in tap water.If
you touch the cell components with your fingers, you can inadvertently add salts and organic compounds to
your cell solution. We recommend that you carefully clean the cell components using good laboratory
practice. After the components are clean, avoid touching their wetted surfaces.
Assembled Cell: Standard (left) and Jacketed (right) Versions
The MultiPort includes a number of ACE-Thred™ connectors used for a wide variety of functions. #7 ACE-
Thred™ connectors are particularly common. ACE-Thred™ fittings are designed to seal cylindrical objects into
the cell. These objects can include glass tubes, glass plugs, thermometers, and plastic electrode-bodies. ACE-
Thred™ fittings are designed to be tightened with finger pressure only.
