Corrosion Testing

Corrosion in the oil and gas industries affects all aspects of exploration and production. Corrosion causes plants to shut down to clean facilities, and corrosion in the oil and gas industry causes serious cost losses each year. In addition, corrosion often leads to serious environmental problems, such as spills and releases. Therefore, corrosion resistance is one of the key properties of the products used in the oil and gas industry. In extreme environments, equipment and materials must maintain the highest level of reliability while ensuring that production needs are met. Effective corrosion management can reduce production costs and maintain a safe and healthy production environment.
