Hydrogen Induced Cracking Test Tanks
Cortest offers a variety of different Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC) test tank designs that can
be used to study the corrosive and embrittling effects on a metal sample in a hydrogen enriched
aqueous environment. Available in rectangular and cylindrical models, these HIC tanks are suitable
for samples specified in NACE TM0284 as well as 3 or 4 point bend fixtures specified in both NACE
TM0177 and ASTM G39. Each model can be designed to accommodate any desired volume. HIC
tanks are typically used for ambient pressures and temperatures but these can be provided with
environmental control coils to allow testing from 0°C to 40°C.
