Corrosion Inspection & Testing

Corrosion testing provides us with valuable information that can be very helpful in preventing costly damage or premature failure of components and structures.

Corrosion can be detrimental if not diagnosed or detected timely. Failures due to corrosion can be harmful to humans, personnel, property and also the environment. To avoid losses of this nature, corrosion testing should be performed in every kind of industry from refineries to utility companies.

The adage goes that the best treatment is preventive. It very much applies to corrosion prevention programs.

Corrosion tests are performed for four main reasons which give us an accurate and precise result for the following reasons:

  Control of corrosion resistance of the material or corrosiveness of the environment.
  Study of the mechanics of corrosion or other research and development objectives.
  Evaluation and selection of a metal or alloy for a specific environment or a given definite application.
  Evaluation of new or old metals to determine the environments in which they are suitable or not suitable.

AEIS has a fully equipped Corrosion testing lab where a variety of tests are conducted  for determining the corrosion resistant of materials, evaluation of corrosion prevention coatings/platings  , determining the extent of Corrosion damage and also Field Survey of Corrosion Prevention Systems like Coatings , Cathodic Prevention.

Corrosion testing can be broadly classified into four parts:

  Laboratory tests
  Pilot plant or semi-works tests
  Plant or actual service tests
  Field tests
