Standard Corrosion Testing
The Corrosion division offers a range of standard corrosion tests. Senior staff participate in the development of international corrosion testing standards including NACE TM0177 and European Federation of Corrosion guidance document EFC 17.

Routine tests available include:

• Sour service testing for sulphide stress cracking and hydrogen induced cracking.
  Electrochemical testing for corrosion rate, critical pitting temperature etc.
• Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) by constant load (tensile), constant displacement (ASTM G39 bent beam, ASTM G38 C-ring) and slow strain rate technique (ISO7539, ASTM G129, NACE TM0198). Standard SCC tests include the ASTM G36 boiling magnesium chloride test.
• General (mass loss) corrosion testing to NACE TM0169.
• Localised (pitting and crevice) corrosion testing to ASTM G48, ASTM G78 and in-house procedures.
