Single channel instruments

  Gill AC

 

The Gill AC is our most popular instrument. This single channel instrument is an automated Potentiostat, Galvanostat and Zero Resistance Ammeter with integral Frequency Response Analyser and Sweep Generator in one neat enclosure. Allowing electrochemistry techniques such as EIS, LPR and current and voltage noise. The versatility of this instrument is then demonstrated with a number of options offering high power, low current and high speed sweep versions to name a few, allowing you to easily customise your instrument to meet the needs of your application.

Sequential multiple channel instruments

  Gill 8 / Gill 12

 

A cheaper method of increasing the number of channels is to add additional sequential channels.  The software enables the operator to treat these sequential channels as independent and manages the channels in a time efficient manner.

  Weld Tester

 

Welds pose a particular problem. Each weld is a complex galvanic couple made up of parent metal (e.g. a pipeline) a weld metal and an area of heat affected metal. This instrument is a Gill 8 or 12 built to accommodate the extra four working electrodes per cell. Once the cell is connected the full range of DC and AC tests are used to determine the susceptibility of each component to corrosion.

Simultaneous multiple channel instruments

  The Musketeer Range

 

Our new range of simultaneous multiple instruments are our most versatile to date. Each channel can work simultaneously as individual Gill ACs or together (hence our catchphrase for this range 'All for one and one for all') to become bi-potentiostats, generate high speed sweeps or even a high spec weld tester depending on which option you choose. The Bi-Stat option can be contained in either a single GillAC unit or be rack mountable. Multiple systems with more than two channels are available within racks of four, eight or twelve which are of course expandable in the future.

 Pot 16

 

The Pot 16 has 16 potentiostats built in, each at a fixed range i.e. not changed through the software. This allows very long tests of electrodes under potentiostatic control to be performed in complete certainty that the set potential will not be changed. The current flowing is recorded with time. Ideal for the study of Cathodic disbonding.
