Sour Service Corrosion Testing
What could be considered sour service is based on the definitions and guidance provided by industry specifications like NACE MR 0175/ISO 15156 and also on Canadian specification CSA Z 662. In the oil and gas industry, materials exposed to sour service environments may face the risk of corrosion and cracking, and may lead to catastrophic failures. T,C&A Lab's sour service laboratory uses various corrosive gases such as nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and chlorine, and can perform single or multiple gas mixture tests to replicate the highly corrosive conditions found in the oil and gas industry to determine the corrosion resistance of materials.
Methods and standards we test to
| EFC 16 | Guidelines on Materials Requirements for Carbon and Low Alloy Steels for H2S-Containing Environments in Oil and Gas Production |
| EFC 17 | Corrosion Resistant Alloys for Oil and Gas Production |
| NACE TM0177 | Laboratory Testing of Metals for Resistance to Sulfide Stress Cracking and Stress Corrosion Cracking in H2S Environments |
| NACE TM0284 | Evaluation of Pipeline and Pressure Vessel Steels for Resistance to Hydrogen-Induced Cracking |
| NACE TM0198 | Slow Strain Rate Test Method for Screening Corrosion-Resistant Alloys (CRAs) for Stress Corrosion Cracking in Sour Oilfield Service |
| NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 | Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries—Materials for Use in H2S-containing Environments in Oil and Gas Production |
In addition, the experts in our Sour Service Corrosion Testing Laboratory also provide a variety of custom tests as you need. Let's discuss the customized service with our experts for free.
