Corrosion Testing and Study

Cortest was formed in 1977, and since then, Cortest has grown to include a family of related companies providing corrosion testing equipment, corrosion testing services, technical consulting, field service, and training courses.

Cortest Incorporated specializes in a systems approach to meet all of your corrosion testing needs. We manufacture a comprehensive line of corrosion testing apparatus and support equipment that combine to form complete testing capabilities for both static and dynamic test conditions. It is this ability to ensure equipment compatibility and proven system performance which makes Cortest a unique single source of supply for your test equipment needs.

For the past 25 years, Cortest has manufactured laboratory corrosion testing equipment, as listed below. Please select your areas of interest for additional information.

Proof Rings and accessories, for testing of stress corrosion cracking in accordance with NACE Test Standard TM-01-77-90. The Cortest Proof Rings provide an economical but effective way to accurately determine the Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) susceptibility of metals in different environments.

Autoclaves for high temperature and high pressure tests at 5,000 psi (350 bars) and 600°F (315°C) (up to 20,000 psi (1400 bars) and 1100°F (600°C) for specific systems).
