Production Test IP-524-AL, testing in 1706-KE single-pass tubes of Quachrom Glucosate as a replacement for dichromate

Description: The objective of the production test detailed in this report is to authorize testing in the 1706-KE single-pass facility to measure the corrosion of aluminum-clad fuel elements in process water containing 0.20 ppm of Quachrom Glucosate added in place of dichromate and to compare this corrosion to corrosion in normal process water. Tubes SP-5 and SP-6 will be run with 0.20 ppm of Quachrom Glucosate and no dichromate; tests will be made at both pH 6.6 and 7.0. Simultaneous comparison corrosion me… more
