CORROSION ANALYSIS
Smart analysis to help you understand how materials perform under service conditions and how you prolong service life of plant, assets and equipment.
Most Services engineers will have come across a heating or cooling system that has not received water treatment and still appears to function perfectly and another that has apparently been treated but experienced serious corrosion related failures. Why should one be vulnerable and the other not? The answer is that most common metals are subject to corrosion but the rate of corrosion and risk of failure depends on a variety of factors including the chemical and microbiological environment, temperature, flow rate and not least the thickness of the metal.
NF CEM Water Chemicals provide corrosion coupon analysis and a certificating service based in accordance with recommendations by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) in their Approved Code of Practise (L8) and accompanying Technical Guidance (HSG274 section 1.34).
Corrosion coupons provide accurate, long term corrosion rate data which is representative of the whole system. Usage and analysis will enable you to make better informed, more accurate water treatment programme decisions
