IPT’s Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection has a wide experience in corrosion by soils and in cathodic protection for buried and submerged structures such as water and sewage transportation pipelines as well as petroleum and its derivative transportation pipelines. The laboratory has an infrastructure and a trained staff to conduct Read more…
IPT´s Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection conducts testing and research studies related to the corrosion of metals associated with mechanical stress to support the industry in the selection of metallic materials. Stress corrosion and fatigue corrosion tests are performed according to international standards or by simulating field conditions. The Laboratory Read more…
IPT´s Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection has pioneered studies of atmospheric corrosion in Brazil. The first study began in 1974 with the project "Studies of the behavior of metallic materials in different types of atmospheres" funded by PROMOCET – Program of Science and Technology of São Paulo State. This project Read more…
IPT´s Laboratory for Corrosion and Protection has modern equipment for electrochemical tests which includes potentiostats, frequency analyzers and zero resistance amperimeters for traditional measurements (polarization curves, impedance spectrocopy, RPL, electrochemical noise). The Lab is also supplied with equipment for localized electrochemical techniques such as: • Scanning Kelvin Probe – SKP: Read more…
When dealing with metallic structures or equipment that will be buried, such as pipelines and fuel tanks, it is essential to know the aggressiveness of the soil in order to specify adequate coatings and protective systems. IPT has an experienced technical team and appropriate equipment to determine the corrosive effect Read more…
Metallic materials in daily use are subject to failures due to the type of operation or stress to which they are subjected, or to the aggressiveness of the environment to which they are exposed. Corrosion is common in such environments, and if the necessary precautions are not taken, it may Read more…
