A
well-established
corrosion
testing
setup
provides
both
quantitative
and
qualitative
corrosion
testings
and
evaluation
in
several
areas
of
corrosion.
Regular
quantitative
tests
are
performed
in
the
areas
of
Corrosion
Rate
Monitoring
as
per
ASTM, NACE
and
DNV
Standards,
Hydrogen
Induced
Cracking
(HIC)
test
as
per
NACE
standards
and
Sulphide
Stress
Corrosion
Cracking
(SSCC)
in
equipment
exposed
to
sour
gas
service
as
per
NACE
standards.
Most
of
this
testing
is
carried
out
under
the
inspection
of
third
party
inspection
agencies
such
as
LRIS, DNV, BVIS,
EIL
etc. |
OTIS also conduct corrosion studies
in chemical plants and cross country
pipelines and evaluate stability of
structures. In-situ metallographic
technique is also used independently to
evaluate various types of corrosion in
equipment and components working under
severe conditions. Evaluation of
pitting, crevice corrosion, corrosion
fatigue, sensitization and stress
corrosion cracking in boiling MgCl2
or CaCl2 incorporates qualitative as
well as quantitative features. Another
test that is routinely carried out is
that for evaluating intergranular
corrosion as per ASTM A-262.

The work of
OTIS in the field of corrosion testing is
gaining increasing recognition and has been acknowledged in corrosion
conferences. Our proudest achievement in the field so
far is the Corrosion Awareness Award for being the BEST CORROSION
LABORATORY IN PRIVATE SECTOR for the year 1998-99, conferred on us by
NACE International (India Section) at the Fifth National Convention on
Corrosion, New Delhi (Nov. 22-24, 1999). |
