Abstract: Methods and apparatus relate to measuring corrosion rate. Flowing corrosive fluid contacts a metal coupon or object and results in an effluent stream. The effluent stream contains metal from the object due to reaction of constituents in the fluid with the metal. Analysis of the effluent stream measures concentration of the metal therein. Since the concentration of the metal in the effluent stream is indicative of mass loss from the object, calculations provide the corrosion rate utilizing weight of the metal that is eluted, surface area of the object and exposure time of the object with the corrosive fluid.

Abstract: A non-metallic coupon holder assembly comprising a non-metallic support structure and a plurality of coupon holders. The pluralities of coupon holders are disposed throughout the non-metallic support structure wherein the pluralities of coupon holders are designed to secure a metal coupon on at least two edges.

Abstract: Methods and systems relate to temperature control of autoclave reactor based reactions. The systems include an autoclave reactor vessel and a heater disposed external to the vessel with the heater and the vessel movable relative to one another using an actuator device. Operating the actuator device displaces the heater further from the vessel when desired to cool the reactor vessel, such as when quenching the reactions.
