ABOUT
Corrosion testing laboratories are mission critical to the design, development, and service life of metallic materials, components, and products. From research and development of some of the world’s most advanced corrosion-resistant materials and coatings to routine monitoring of production parts in the Oil & Gas, Aerospace, Medical Devices and Transportation industries, our corrosion testing program can drastically reduce the risks related to complex or extreme corrosive environments.
Corrosion is a natural process that occurs in every material under certain environmental conditions, causing degradation of the material and, in turn, failure of critical equipment, products, and assets. These losses are not only expensive to remedy in monetary terms, but they could also result in production downtime, environmental degradation, and reputational damage.
When these situations occur, Element’s world-renowned corrosion testing experts rise to the challenge, providing you with results-driven analysis and real-world solutions that will improve your processes and programs to even further reduce the likelihood of a future occurrence.
Our approach to corrosion testing
Element’s corrosion testing laboratories are equipped with advanced instrumentation to support companies throughout the entire product lifecycle.
For material selection and routine monitoring, standardized corrosion testing methods such as salt spray and intergranular corrosion evaluations help ensure that your materials will perform as expected in their service environment. For prototypes and finished products, we carry out highly specialized methods such as cyclic corrosion testing and sour service corrosion testing to accurately mimic real-life conditions and put your products to the ultimate test.
As the world’s n.1 Testing Partner to the Oil & Gas sector, we provide specialists for deep sea pipelines, sour service, and extreme environments.
Element’s team of corrosion testing experts exist to help you make certain that the materials and products you rely on to withstand extreme environments are of appropriate quality, safe, industry compliant and, most of all, fit for purpose for their intended use.
