Technical investigative procedures such as corrosion

Corrosion testing is one of the essential processes to determine whether a particular material is suited for a particular purpose. It also helps to estimate the service life of the material or components so that the production department can ensure the equipment will not corrode before its expected life. This type of test can determine whether a particular material will appear stressed or will degrade or crack when it is exposed to a corrosive environment. The test results can help to provide an indication to the user about when the material or the component may have to be replaced. It also helps to provide instructions to the user regarding the ideal environment and conditions in which the particular component or equipment must be allowed to function.

Similarly, weld testing is another important process to evaluate the service life and sustainability of welded parts, components or structures. The procedure includes both destructive and non-destructive tests. Weld testing helps to estimate the consistency and performance of the test product. It can be a crucial test in ensuring the safety and integrity of a welded structure. Weld testing can be performed using mechanical techniques such as root bends and tensile tests. More specialized methods such as ultrasonic testing, X-rays and metallurgical tests may also be used.

Tests such as corrosion testing and weld testing can provide vital information about the quality and durability of a particular material, component or equipment. The manufacturing organization can produce reliable and long-lasting products with quality assurance through such testing standards. Most industries such as petroleum, pharmaceutical, biomedical, chemical, metal refining or others require such tests to deliver safe and reliable products and services to the consumers.
