Autoclave Testing at TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium: Speed and Flexibility
Trust TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium for in-house autoclave testing to address your corrosion issues, particularly when dealing with elevated pressures and higher temperatures. Our autoclave testing offers speed and flexibility.
This expansion of our corrosion laboratory reinforces our full-service approach and enables us to provide comprehensive support for corrosion and materials science issues. We ensure quick setup and offer a high degree of flexibility. Additionally, our centrally located laboratory near Leuven welcomes visitors who would like to view their test setup on site.
Autoclave as a corrosion test under elevated pressures and temperatures
Our experience shows that many of our customers’ processes take place under elevated pressure and at higher temperatures. To ensure an accurate material selection, it is therefore essential to simulate these conditions as realistically as possible. Autoclave testing offers an effective solution for this purpose.
What does an autoclave test involve?
The setup is similar to a standard exposure test, in which the material (in the form of a metal plate/coupon or test specimen) is exposed to a medium for a predetermined period. An autoclave—a pressure vessel capable of reaching pressures up to 320 barg and temperatures up to 400°C —enables the highly accurate simulation of high-temperature degradation processes.
At the end of the exposure period, our experts evaluate the degradation of the test material and report their findings.
Additional tests possible in the autoclave
In addition to standard exposure tests, electrochemical measurements, such as cyclic polarization measurements, can also be performed in the autoclave. This is possible up to a temperature of 305°C and a pressure of 135 barg.
