The CS series electrochemical workstation is a general potentiostat/ galvanostat/ FRA designed for general purpose electrochemical measurements. The instrument contains a fast digital function generator, highspeed data acquisition circuitry, a potentiostat and a galvanostat (select models). The potential control range is ±10V and the current range is ±2A. The instrument is capable of measuring current down to picoamperes. The instrument is capable of a wide variety of electrochemical techniques, and is available with integrated simulation and fitting software functions for both impedance and cyclic voltammetry. These features provide powerful tools for electrochemical mechanistic studies.
CST series industrial corrosion monitoring equipment are widely used in oil /gas fields, petrochemical
industry, power system, industry of transportation and construction etc. Products include CST800E portable multi-channel rapid corrosion meter, CST700 portable concrete corrosion meter, CST600 smart cathodic protection monitoring instrument, CST400 electric resistance corrosion meter and so on. All these products can be controlled remotely by PC and software, which helps the user to check the corrosion status of pipelines, tanks etc.
