Autoclave tests

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for paint testing under high pressure and temperature in combination with corrosive gases. Measurement results from autoclave tests are required in various standards and specifications, such as ISO 15741, EN 10289, EN 10290, ARAMCO 09-SAMSS-067 APCS 27, NACE TM0185, or various Shell DEPs.

The laboratory utilizes autoclaves that are applied up to a maximum of 410 bar and a maximum of 350 degrees Celsius. Gases can be added in the desired concentrations and various test fluids can be introduced. The duration of testing varies from 24 hours to a month or longer.

Tests that are also performed include the following:

  • Gas pressure variation test (ISO 15741)
  • Hydraulic pressure blistering test (ISO 15741)
  • Atlas autoclave test (NACE TM0185)
  • EN 10301
