ChemicalAnalysis

GRIPCO helps you ensure your materials are safe and of high quality. We use advanced techniques to perform chemical tests and examine what your materials are made of and identify any potential issues. Our tests follow global industry standards to give you accurate results.

Corrosion Testing

Corrosion can cause serious damage and costly problems. At GRIPCO, we test how materials react to different corrosive conditions to help you predict their performance over time. Our corrosion tests follow ASTM standards and include:

ASTM A262, ASTM G28

– Testing for corrosion at grain boundaries 

ASTM G48

– Testing for pitting and crevice corrosion in harsh environments

This helps you understand how your materials will behave and make informed decisions.

Our Testing Accreditations

We follow the strict guidelines set by ASTM, ensuring all tests are accurate and widely accepted across industries.

ASTM A262 (Practice B & E)

Detects intergranular attack in stainless steels
This test helps us identify the risk of corrosion in stainless steel.

ASTM A751

Chemical analysis of steel products using OES
We use this method to analyze the chemical composition of steel using advanced spectroscopy.

ASTM A90

Measures zinc coatings on steel
We check the thickness of protective coatings on steel to ensure they meet the required standards for corrosion resistance.

ASTM A923

Detects harmful intermetallic phases in duplex stainless steels
This test helps identify any potentially damaging phases in duplex stainless steel.

ASTM E340

Macro-etching metals and alloys
We use this technique to visually check the quality of metals and alloys for defects or structural issues.

ASTM E562

Determines volume fraction of pearlite
This test helps us evaluate the strength of materials, particularly for API 5L steels.

ASTM G28

Corrosion testing for nickel rich alloys
We check how resistant certain alloys are to corrosion, especially in high stress environments.

ASTM G48

Pitting and crevice corrosion resistance test
This test checks how well materials resist localized corrosion, important in marine and industrial applications.

ASTM D1293

Measures pH levels in water
We test the pH of water used in industrial processes to ensure it’s at safe and optimal levels.

ASTM D5907

Test for filterable and non filterable materials
This test measures the total dissolved and suspended solids in water, essential for water quality management.

ASTM A923 Method C

Chemical etching method for intermetallic phase detection
This specific method under ASTM A923 helps reveal detrimental phases using a chemical etching technique, ensuring duplex stainless steels remain tough and corrosion resistant.
