Atmospheric Corrosion – Environmental Corrosivity Assessment

Quantifying environmental corrosivity and measuring metal impact through monitoring, standardized exposures, and transparent reporting to support prevention and lifecycle planning.

Overview

Quantify environmental corrosivity & metal impact

We provide precise monitoring and assessment of environmental factors that contribute to atmospheric corrosion, measure metal degradation over time, calculate impact from collected data, and deliver transparent reporting with tailored prevention strategies to extend asset life and reduce maintenance costs.

ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited practices and reporting.
Planning & decisions

Maintenance schedules & protection strategies

Classification

Atmosphere corrosivity classes

Classify environments from low to extreme based on humidity, temperature, sulfur dioxide, and chloride levels.

Decisions

Material selection & coatings

Support cost-effective material selection, protective coatings, and preventive maintenance planning.

Lifecycle

Service-life estimation

Estimate long-term durability in corrosive atmospheres for infrastructure, transportation, and energy sectors.

Methods & protocols

Real-world exposures & standardized procedures

Coupons

Corrosion rate measurement

Expose steel, zinc, copper, and aluminium coupons to specific conditions; validate corrosivity categories and assess performance.

Mass loss

Duration & cleaning

Assess mass loss over a specified period—typically one year—using consistent prep, positioning, cleaning, and weighing.

Reporting

Calculations & transparency

Standardized calculations and structured reports ensure reliable, comparable results.

Monitoring

Pollutants & environment

Quantify atmospheric pollutants and environmental conditions to inform prevention measures and selection.

Why this matters

Consistent, decision-ready data

Validate classifications

Confirm corrosivity categories using standardized exposures and measurements.

Meet durability targets

Ensure materials and coatings meet required durability standards.

Reduce risk & cost

Inform maintenance schedules and corrosion prevention for long-term reliability.
