Kulim Kht Bubble Test System ACM Gill AC













ACM have set the standards for Inhibitor testing, our reliable, good looking, accurate equipment is to be found in Inhibitor laboratories the world over, from a University with a single Gill AC to a giant specialist chemical company with banks of Gill 6,8,12s or Gill ACs working in parallel. Plus, last but not least, the Bubble Test will operate multiple instruments in parallel for simultaneous testing of as many samples as you require. 

Kulim Hi-Tech from Malaysia will provide all customers with complete package of Bubble Test system and software plus all related accessories.

Bubble Test is also known as Kettle Test and Inhibitor Screening.

Kulim Kht Gill AC 2 Channel Bubble Test Technique for Oil Refinery Lab Offshore


 Bubble Test is primarily used for testing of oil field inhibitors using the Bubble Test technique. Other names for this test include the Kettle Test and Inhibitor Screening. They are all tests that use the LPR technique with respect to time to calculate the efficiency of oil field inhibitors.

A series of LPR tests are collected over time, giving Corrosion Rate results. Cells (or Channels) are assigned together into Groups, each group has an Add Inhibitor button, once pressed, corrosion rates can be calculated for 3 periods - prior to Add Inhibitor, after 2 hours and after 16 hours (configurable), this enables Percentage Protection to be calculated

The standard Bubble Test uses a series of Linear Polarization Tests over a period of about 24 hours to assess the performance of a corrosion inhibitor. In simple terms it does not give an indication of localized corrosion. However, up to 80% of pipeline failures are ascribed to pitting, but very few monitoring methods are capable to show this outcome.  LCM™ attempts to give the user this information as well as the standard Bubble Test information. The test preparation and duration is the same as for a standard three electrode Bubble Test using an Auxiliary, Corrosion Resistant Reference and Test Electrode. The standard Bubble Test data is achieved with or without the addition of LCM™LCM™ just gives additional information relating to the magnitude and frequency of pitting events.

Kulim Kht Inhibitors Studies Bubble Tests- Gill 6,8,12 ACM Instruments


Typical results are shown as metal has the highest corrosion rate but on the addition of the inhibitor the rate drops to the lowest. The test should be repeated at least three times and the results compared for scatter. The percentage protection of an inhibitor is usually quoted this is defined as 100*(uninhibited rate-inhibited rate)/uninhibited rate. The bubble test software will display this for all channels under test. The temperature of the test is important as a whole set of percentage protection values is displayed with respect to temperature.

Bubble Test facilitates running tests in multiples; tests are set up using a simple Bubble Wizard, a series of LPR tests are collected over time giving Corrosion Rate results. Results can be printed at the end in many ways including tables, lines and bar graphs. Cells (or Channels) are assigned together into Groups, each group has an Add Inhibitor button, once pressed, end corrosion rates can be calculated at the end of the test over 3 periods – prior to Add Inhibitor, after 2 hours and after 16 hours, this enables Percentage Protection to be calculated.

Bubble Test - LPR - Inhibitors Gill 6,8,12 ACM Instruments Kulim Kht


Testing of these chemicals is performed by makers and users. Makers set up initial screening to not reject any potential good ones. Users set up initial screening to reject any potential bad ones. Test metal should be the same metal as that to be protected as should be the test fluid. The two most widely used tests are LPR and Tafel plots. Both are ideally performed using a Gill 8 or Gill 12. The use of a multiple channel instrument allows for replication to gain confidence in the results. The Bubble Test software automatically groups the tests and prints inhibition reports using the LPR method. After all the small LPR perturbations have been made an optional Tafel sweep is performed to obtain the Tafel slopes. AC impedance is less commonly used except with high resistance electrolytes where the IR drop in the solution needs to be measured and overcome.
