Testing fluid creep between solid surfaces - using polished measurement plates on support plate capable of adjustable inclination and giving reading on scale

A test device and method of testing the ability of fluids to penetrate between solid surfaces are applicable to fluid creep characteristic evaluation for vehicle corrosion proofing purposes. Two measurement plates (10, 11) with plane polished surfaces in contact are used. The upper plate has an inlet opening (12) for the measurement fluid in its forward lower edge. A base plate supports an adjustable plate upon which the measurement plates rest. The adjustable plate may be locked at any angle between the horizontal and vertical. The angle is measured by a pointer (5) and graduated scale (4).
