Disbonding Apparatus front view
The system incorporates an automated back pres-
sure regulator and a variety of automated valves for
pressure control.The control system (not pictured)
for the apparatus automatically purges the vessel
with argon, performs a high pressure leak test with
nitrogen and then sequences the main portion of
the test.The main test consists of filling the test
cell with hydrogen, heating the vessel at a user
defined temperature set point for a period of typi-
cally 48 hours. After this, the vessel is cooled at a
predefined rate, typically 150 °C/hr, until the inside
temperature reaches 200 °C.The test cell is then
automatically vented, purged and cooled further
so that the test samples can be safely retrieved. All
important test parameters are user adjustable.
