About Hydrogen Induced Cracking Test - Hic Test

Hydrogen Induced Cracking Test - Hic Test

Caltech India manufactures hydrogen induced cracking testing apparatus ( HIC test ) to test and accurately determine the hydrogen induced cracking over exposed test specimens as per NACE standards requirements. HIC testing is recommended to evaluate the resistance of pipeline and pressure vessel plate steels to hydrogen induced cracking corrosion caused by hydrogen absorption from aqueous sulfide corrosion. Unstressed test specimens are exposed to a solution at temperature of 25deg cent with continuous H2S gas flow. The test specimens are finally removed and evaluated. Test specimens determine susceptibility of metals in H2S service. HIC testing apparatus meet requirements of ASTM / NACE Standard TM0284 and suitable to test material as per requirements of NACE MR0175.

Hydrogen induced cracking test apparatus is rectangular provided with ready to use connections fittings. HIC test apparatus is supplied with essential spares for uninterrupted long term testing. HIC test specimens are machined with thickness of 5-30mm, width 20mm, and length of 100mm is suitable for testing as per the NACE Standard. Hydrogen induced cracking test instrument is supplied with standard size of 12(L) x 12(W) x 9(H). HIC testing apparatus is provided with specially made rack to keep the samples with minimum surface contact and all the specimens can be viewed during the test period easily.

At the option of customer, we also supply custom size apparatus with spare glasswares, tubing, and accessories.

HIC test apparatus is suitable for standard environment chamber is machined from clear, durable perspect / acrylic to permit instant visual observation of the specimen at all times. Glass with acrylic is also available at option of user. O-ring seals are provided to prevent any leakages from test apparatus. Individual test apparatus are tested with Hydro Test of Air before dispatch. Each HIC testing apparatus has one inlet, one outlet and one plug to remove test solution or conduct potassium idometric test as per the standard to verify concentration of test solution.

What is hydrogen induced cracking? Refer NACE Standard TM0284.

FAQs of Hydrogen Induced Cracking Test - Hic Test:

Q: How does the HIC Test Apparatus ensure accurate hydrogen measurement?

A: The test apparatus employs an electrochemical hydrogen sensor with 1% accuracy of reading and 1 ppm resolution. Automatic and manual calibration options further maintain precision, making it suited for critical evaluations in steel quality assessment.

Q: What is the typical process for conducting a hydrogen induced cracking test with this equipment?

A: To perform a test, place the prepared steel samples (1040 mm diameter) in stainless steel holders, set the desired parameters (temperature, pressure, timer), and select continuous or batch operation. The programmable timer (19999 min), along with chamber control, manages the test environment for repeatable, reliable results.

Q: When should the HIC Test be used in steel manufacturing or inspection?

A: The HIC Test is recommended during quality control, post-production inspection, or when evaluating the suitability of steel plates and pipes for hydrogen service environments. It helps identify susceptibility to hydrogen-induced cracking before deploying materials in critical infrastructure.

Q: Where can this apparatus be installed, and what are its mounting requirements?

A: Designed for bench-top installation, the apparatus suits laboratory, industrial, and commercial settings. Its compact, powder-coated, and corrosion-resistant body ensures durability and minimal footprint in diverse environments.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this HIC Test Apparatus for quality assurance?

A: Key benefits include high testing throughput (up to 6 samples simultaneously), robust safety features, precise measurement capabilities, convenient data management, and broad compatibility with steel sample diameters and media. These advantages support rigorous, compliant testing processes.

Q: How can test data be managed and exported using this equipment?

A: Test results can be stored internally (over 1000 records) and exported conveniently using USB or RS232 connectivity. The Windows-compatible utility facilitates easy data review, reporting, and archiving for traceability and analysis.
