Introduction
The Gamry Instruments ’ PTC1 Paint Test Cell kit is a simple, inexpensive cell used for electrochemical
corrosion testing. This cell was originally developed by Dr. Richard Granata of Lehigh University.
The PTC1 was designed for electrochemical-impedance testing of flat, coated metal specimens. It can also be
used for testing corrosion of bare metal samples in highly conductive media.
The PTC1 is not recommended for testing bare metals in more resistive solutions.
