Problem to solve

CAPSULE aims to cover research aspects currently missing in the European landscape, but necessary in the LFR field. In particular, it focuses on aspects related to stagnant corrosion on structural steels, and on conditioning and control of lead chemistry.

Description

15 test stations, each with 6 sample positions. Temperature range up to 750°C

Innovative aspects and advantages

  • Ability to perform tests over long periods of time
  • Ability to perform tests requiring high lead temperatures
  • Facility suitable for various types of lead chemistry tests

Admissible applications

  • Conditioning and control of lead chemistry
  • Materials corrosion tests in stagnant lead
  • Qualification of structural materials for LFR applications
