Checking the integrity of a Gamry cell cable

8 Mar 2021

Of all the components of a Gamry Instruments system, the cell cable is the one that is constantly being flexed and exposed to corrosive environments. In this application note, Gamry outlines how to check the integrity of a cell cable.

VoltammetryVoltammetry is a sensitive analytical technique for elemental detection. In a voltammeter the current is measured in the system whilst the voltage is varied. Usually 3 metal electrodes are required including the reference, auxiliary and working electrodes. In polarography, a subclass of voltammetry, the working electrode used is a dropping mercury electrode (DME). The 2 main types of voltammetry are cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry.Mechanical TestingMechanical testing explores the elastic and inelastic nature of a material when force is applied. A mechanical test shows whether a material is suitable for its intended application by measuring hardness, tensile strength, elongation, elasticity, and fatigue limit.CorrosionPotentiostat
