AxxaVis™ HST-10 – An Environmentally Friendly and Effective Hydrostatic Testing Additive
Pressure vessels such as pipelines, plumbing, gas cylinders, boilers, above-ground storage tanks (ASTs), and fuel tanks are typically required to undergo hydrostatic testing for strength and leaks. Testing pressure vessels to transport and store gases is vital because such containers can explode if they fail under pressure. Hydrostatic testing is a well-known industry standard test
The Various Official Flavors of the Jar Test: Evaluating the Efficacy of Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI)
The use of anti-corrosive packaging materials functionalized with volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI) to preserve processed metal parts is critical for any good corrosion management program. Evaluating the efficacy of VCI packaging to provide off-contact protection of steel surfaces is commonly performed in the laboratory using the Vapor-phase Inhibition Ability (VIA) test, also known as the
