What is Corrosion Testing

What is Corrosion Testing

Corrosion testing is a method used to evaluate how a material reacts to its environment and how the product materials are resistant to corrosion.

What is corrosion?

Corrosion is the process by which materials, usually metals, deteriorate due to an electrochemical reaction with their surroundings. All metals are susceptible to corrosion, but metals are especially vulnerable.  The most common examples of materials that are susceptible are the following:

Corrosion in Metal Products

Corrosion in Non-Metal Products

Where can you receive training on Corrosion Testing?

Typically, a test chamber will be configured to run a specific standard.  ESGCal does not sell equipment but we do perform repairs, maintenance, and calibration on all brands of chambers.  We have been doing this work for 30 years.  We will be listing all the brands that we service in this blog.     

Mike Macauley, President of Equipment Services Group llc, wanted to make this statement about these standards. ESGCal provides training on your equipment, at your facility, to ensure that your company has the skilled staff to maintain reliable performance according to the standards below.  These standards are complicated and repeated attention is needed to maintain the chamber’s operation.

Standards used for Corrosion Testing

All of the standards listed are specific to a corrosion test or they include many different types of test methods that also include a corrosion test. 

ESGCal-focused training is on corrosive controlled environments. 

That is not to say that we only perform calibration and maintenance on these chambers.  We perform calibration on all equipment that controls temperature, humidity, and altitude (pressure).  

In addition, there are many other standards that we provide training to. If you have other specialized corrosion equipment that must be set up to run these standards, then ESGCal can provide the setup, operational procedures, and training for these methods.

The other standards include
