Equipment for Corrosion and Process Studies

The corrosion technology group at Institute for Energy Technology has long experience in the field of corrosion research and testing for the oil and gas industry. The Institute can offer corrosion studies in a wide range of corrosion flow loops, autoclaves and glass cells under aggressive conditions. The most important laboratory facilities are listed below.

Instrumentation

All the test systems are equipped for electrochemical corrosion rate measurements. High sensitivity electrical resistance probes, FSM, and radioactive corrosion measuring technique are also available. SEM is used for inspection of corrosion attack.
