YT02 Swagelok Three-Electrode Mold

Name: YT02 Swagelok Three-Electrode Mold

Mold Type: T-Shaped Swagelok Three-Electrode Test Cell with Openable Window

Product Code: XN-BM-YT02

Description:

The YT02 is a T-shaped Swagelok three-electrode test cell with an integrated openable window. The cell is built with PTFE and copper and supports a working pressure of 10 MPa, an assembly height of 170 mm, an inner diameter range of 10–20 mm, and operating conditions ≤ 200 °C. The YT02 ships with a choice of three electrode materials: titanium alloy, pure titanium, or high-purity molybdenum. Can be customized and modified as required.

Application:

The YT02 is designed for laboratory three-electrode electrochemical research and battery testing. The Swagelok-style cell architecture and three-electrode configuration support standard electrochemistry techniques requiring a working electrode, counter electrode, and reference electrode.

Specifications:

Values measured by Xnergy. Typical values for reference; not guaranteed unless otherwise specified.

Available Electrode Materials:

YT02 vs YT08: Reference Electrode Design Comparison

The reference electrode design of YT02 CG is more convenient for placing the diaphragm compared to the silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrode style of YT08 CG.

Characteristics:

T-shaped Swagelok three-electrode geometry

The YT02 features a T-shaped Swagelok three-electrode cell geometry. The standardized cylindrical assembly architecture is widely used in laboratory electrochemistry research.

Openable window

The YT02 features an openable window in the reference electrode position. The openable design simplifies access to the reference electrode area.

PTFE and copper construction

The YT02 is built with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and copper. PTFE is a fluoropolymer known for its high chemical inertness against a wide range of chemicals.

Three electrode material options

The YT02 ships with a choice of three electrode materials: titanium alloy, pure titanium, or high-purity molybdenum. The selection is made by the customer based on their specific research application.

Working pressure of 10 MPa

The YT02 is rated for a working pressure of 10 MPa.

Operating conditions ≤ 200 °C

The operating temperature limit of the YT02 is ≤ 200 °C.

Tall assembly height (170 mm)

The 170 mm assembly height accommodates the T-shaped three-electrode geometry, which positions the reference electrode on a separate side branch from the working/counter electrode column.

Customization available on request

The YT02 can be customized and modified as required. Contact Xnergy for configuration options that match your specific research requirements.

Recommended Operating Procedure:

1. Clean all components (PTFE body, copper components, electrode columns, openable window) with isopropyl alcohol or other suitable cleaning solvent before each use; dry thoroughly. 2. Select the desired electrode material (titanium alloy, pure titanium, or high-purity molybdenum) and prepare the user-supplied reference electrode. 3. Open the reference electrode window to install the user-supplied components, then close and verify seal integrity before proceeding. 4. Assemble the cell components, including the working electrode, counter electrode, separator, and electrolyte, in their designated positions. 5. Insert the reference electrode through the openable window port and secure. 6. Tighten the Swagelok-style fittings; do not exceed the rated working pressure of 10 MPa. 7. Connect the cell electrodes to the potentiostat via three-electrode configuration cables. 8. Operate within the specified temperature limit of ≤ 200 °C. 9. After testing, allow the cell to cool to room temperature, release pressure gradually, drain electrolyte safely, and clean all components before storage.

Packaging & Storage:

The YT02 ships with all components, including the PTFE/copper T-shaped cell body, openable reference electrode window assembly, selected electrode columns (titanium alloy, pure titanium, or high-purity molybdenum), Swagelok-style fittings, and assembly hardware. Store in a dry environment at room temperature, protected from dust and chemical exposure. After each use, clean wetted-surface components, dry thoroughly, and store in a clean, dry environment. The reference electrode is user-supplied and must be stored separately according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Safety:

For research and industrial laboratory use only. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure (10 MPa) or operating temperature (200 °C). Always wear appropriate PPE (safety glasses, chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat) when handling electrolytes. Take particular care when opening the reference electrode window during a sealed experiment — release pressure first to prevent unintended electrolyte spillage. For elevated-temperature operation, allow the cell to cool to room temperature before any disassembly. Refer to the included user manual for complete safety and operating instructions.

Note: Specifications listed above are typical and for reference only. Actual performance and chemical compatibility depend on the specific electrolyte, electrode material, reference electrode condition, and experimental conditions — consult published literature for guidance on specific three-electrode electrochemistry protocols. The reference electrode is not included with the YT02 and must be sourced separately.
