Corrosion inspection is a process through which companies test or inspect for corrosion's effects on a product or for the product’s level of corrosion resistance. Corrosion is a chemical or electrochemical reaction between a material, usually a metal, and its environment. It causes deterioration of the material and its properties. Laboratory corrosion tests include immersion tests in corrosive solutions and salt spray or fog tests. Field corrosion inspection or testing includes: thickness changes and weight loss, as well as solution or process water compositional changes using ultrasonic, eddy current, mechanical gaging, coupon tests, chemical analysis and other techniques.

 

Products & Services
Environmental exposure (climatics) testing services use humidity, pressure, temperature, vibration, exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) and other climatic variables to test samples, parts and components, and finished products.
Flow and pressure (fluid dynamics) testing services evaluate the flow, pressure and fluid dynamics of components and products such as radiators, heater cores, lines and bottles.
Corrosion probes, coupons and holders are corrosion-sensing devices that interface to instruments or monitors.
Corrosion and electrochemical instruments use a variety of methods to detect and measure corrosion and electrochemical conditions in plant machinery, field equipment, batteries, fuel cells, colloids, and other solutions or systems.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment is used to detect, inspect, and measure flaws, bond integrity, and other material conditions without permanently altering or destroying the examined part or product.
