The design and operation of a windowed autoclave suitable for studying corrosion of materials by pressurized hot water are described. The technique for taking time‐lapse motion pictures of a specimen from the instant of contact with the high‐temperature water until the corrosion is complete is explained, and a set of typical pictures is presented showing the progress of the attack. Pressure and temperature measurements provide a means for rough computation of corrosion rates, as is shown by the results of two tests of uranium specimens subjected to pressurized hot water.
