Pulsafeeder 03-220-10 Mild Steel C1010 Corrosion Coupon - 2.5 x 0.5 x 1/16 Inch

The Pulsafeeder 03-220-10 is a mild steel C1010 corrosion coupon designed for use with compatible corrosion coupon racks and deposit monitoring systems. Pulsafeeder lists this component as COUPON(MILD STEEL), CORROSION in its replacement parts documentation.

Corrosion coupons are metal test specimens installed in a fluid-handling system for a controlled exposure period. Their condition and measured mass loss can help evaluate corrosion activity in the system.

Mild Steel C1010 Construction

The 03-220-10 corrosion coupon uses C1010 mild steel, as identified in distributor specifications. This material is commonly used as a representative specimen for monitoring corrosion of carbon steel components in water-handling systems.

Using a known alloy and a measured specimen allows corrosion activity to be evaluated under the actual exposure conditions of the monitored system.

Corrosion Monitoring Function

When installed in a corrosion coupon rack, the coupon is exposed to the circulating process water for a specified monitoring period.

After removal, the coupon can be examined for deposits, localized attack and general corrosion. A laboratory or qualified technician can clean and weigh the specimen according to an appropriate test procedure.

Measured mass loss, exposed surface area, material density and exposure time can then be used to calculate an estimated corrosion rate.

Standard Coupon Dimensions

The Pulsafeeder 03-220-10 has distributor-listed dimensions of 2.5 inches long, 0.5 inches wide and 1/16 inch thick.

The specimen includes a 1/4-inch mounting hole, centered approximately 5/16 inch from one end, for installation with a compatible coupon holder.

Verify holder dimensions and mounting hardware before installation.

Pre-Weighed and Individually Packaged

Distributor documentation describes each coupon as individually pre-weighed and packaged in a vapor corrosion inhibitor bag.

The coupon is stamped with an alloy identifier and coupon number to support specimen identification and monitoring records.

Record the initial specimen weight and identification before exposure. Avoid unnecessary handling of the prepared test surface.

Typical Applications

• Cooling tower water treatment programs
• Closed-loop cooling water systems
• Once-through cooling systems
• Boiler water system monitoring
• Industrial water treatment evaluations
• Corrosion inhibitor performance assessment
• Routine corrosion coupon rack testing

Installation and Exposure

Install the coupon in a compatible holder following the coupon rack manufacturer instructions.

Select the exposure period and operating conditions according to the corrosion monitoring program. Record the installation date, system conditions and coupon identification.

Proper coupon placement and representative flow conditions are important for obtaining meaningful corrosion monitoring results.

Removal and Analysis

After the scheduled exposure period, isolate the coupon rack and remove the specimen according to the site safety procedure.

Document visible corrosion, deposits and localized attack before cleaning. Use an appropriate corrosion coupon evaluation method to determine mass loss and estimated corrosion rate.

Interpret results alongside water chemistry, treatment history and other system monitoring information.

Ordering Information

Order using the exact manufacturer part number 03-220-10.

Confirm the C1010 mild steel material, specimen dimensions, mounting hole and compatibility with the intended corrosion coupon rack before purchasing.
