Practically all metal will corrode. Southern Inspection's instrumentation and expertise can scientifically determine at what rate and intensity that a given metal will do so under certain accelerated conditions. The importance of this research is valuable in the industry pertaining to the measurement of remaining wall thickness in pipes, tubes, or tanks that may be corroded on the inside surface. A visual inspection is usually impossible to determine the condition. Structural steel beams, particularly bridge supports or steel pilings, also corrode reducing the original thickness of the metal. An undetected or misjudged corrosion rate will eventually become known at a time that is too late to result in dangerous structural failures. Southern Inspection's corrosion testing is a necessary service for you in the industry to prevent and determine material.
