Autonomous corrosion monitoring in accelerated test chambers and outdoor exposure fixtures
For corrosion testing of coatings and materials in accelerated environments, Acuity CR increases confidence when assessing the protective properties of coatings and when determining the corrosion performance of engineering alloys by using sensorized test panels that autonomously record corrosion rates and environment severity.
The systems continuously collect air temperature, relative humidity (RH), surface contaminants, free corrosion of alloys, and galvanic corrosion of different materials.
Mounts on accelerated test chambers and outdoor exposure fixtures
Acuity systems are compliant with the following standards:
Test Method for Monitoring Atmospheric Corrosion
Corrosion of metals and alloys - Electrochemical measurements - Test method for monitoring atmospheric corrosion
Continuous Measurements for Determination of Coating Protective Properties
Atmospheric Corrosion Monitoring Information Report
When introducing new coatings into service, accelerate testing times with continuous and quantified measurements of performance
Continuously record the environmental conditions that drive corrosion during accelerated and outdoor tests to enhance confidence when interpreting results
Determine the cumulative severity of any environmental exposure using a common metric
Galvanic corrosion sensors of user-defined engineering materials provide a direct measure of corrosion performance in the field or during testing (CFRP, Aluminum Alloy, Titanium, Steel, and more)
Autonomous measurements of corrosion rates paired with environmental sensors to isolate the factors causing corrosion and capture when corrosion damage occurs
