The corrosion resistance of stainless steels depends on the quality of a very thin
stainless steel types
oxide layer, the so called ‘passive layer’. Maintaining this passive layer is one of
the most important aspects in maintaining the quality of stainless steel. Damage
• Robust design
of the passive layer, in time, will cause severe corrosion. Therefor preserving the
passive layer is a must. With the Oxilyser 3 you measure passivity fast and
accurately. Besides a 0-100 passivity scale, a LED (green/red) will indicate
passivity or not. The Oxilyser 3 helps you to avoid corrosion problems.
PRINCIPLE
The principle of the Oxilyser 3 is based upon measuring the rest potential
of the stainless steel surface combined with a sophisticated algorithm for
evaluation. The electrolyte is a non toxic organic acid and filter paper strips
function as electrolyte bearer.
This method is the most direct way for measuring passivity. The scale of the
LCD display is divided into 100 units. Passivity of three stainless steel groups
can be measured:
1. 0% Molybdenum (AISI 304, 321, 304L, Wst. Nr. 1.4301, 1.4541, etc.).
2. 2% Molybdenum (AISI 316, 316L, 316Ti, Wst. Nr. 1.4404, 1.4571, etc.).
3. Duplex stainless and 6% Mo steel such as Wst. Nr. 1.4462, duplex 2205,
duplex 2507, 254 SMO and 1943 hMo.
APPLICATIONS
• Checking effectivity of pickling and passivating treatment
• Checking passivity after unloading tanks with aggressive fluids like acids
• Checking passivity after cleaning/rinsing, e.g. stainless steel storage
tanks, transport tanks (shipping, industry, trucks, etc)
ADVANTAGE
The Oxilyser replaces the palladium chloride test as it is a more reliable and
quick standard for passivity testing. Direct measurement, built in algorithm for
passivity testing. The unit operates on a standard industrial quality 9V battery.
SPECIFICATIONS
• Objective result on LCD display. Scale 0 (active) to 100 (fully passive)
• Passive or not LED passivity indication for three stainless steel groups
• Measuring procedure fits into quality control and assurance procedures
and corrosion monitoring systems.

tested (304, 316 or duplex); in case unknown:
select 304 or apply molybdenum drop test
4. Determine test area on stainless steel surface
5. Take out a piece of filter paper and wet with a few

drops of electrolyte, apply strip on surface to be tested
6. Remove transparent cap from electrode, clean

electrode tip with some drops of demineralised water
7. Place electrode on wetted filter paper and connector

clamp on surface within 10 cm of the filter paper,
ensure the filter paper stays very wet
8. Wait for 10 seconds until the value on the LCD display

stabilizes and the LED light gives a green (pass) or
red (fault) value
9. After use: Fill transparent cap with potassium chloride and

place cap on electrode (to prevent it from drying out)
10. Disconnect cables and put components back in case
