Corrosion Laboratory
Corrosion Laboratory provides advanced corrosion testing and degradation assessment to optimize material performance, validate protection systems, and support engineering decision-making.
The Corrosion Testing Laboratory is a specialized, internationally aligned facility dedicated to evaluating the corrosion behavior, environmental durability, and coating performance of metallic and non-metallic materials. The laboratory supports industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, energy, marine, infrastructure, aerospace, and manufacturing by providing reliable data for material selection, qualification, failure analysis, and product validation.
The laboratory performs a comprehensive range of corrosion and degradation tests under controlled environmental and electrochemical conditions. Capabilities include sour service cracking tests (HIC, SSC, SCC), intergranular corrosion, pitting and crevice corrosion, salt spray exposure, dezincification, exfoliation corrosion, cathodic disbondment, passivation verification, and advanced electrochemical measurements such as polarization and EIS.
In addition, the lab conducts coating performance evaluations including adhesion, flexibility, hardness, and disbondment testing.
