ASTM D1141 Artificial Seawater – The gold standard in seawater for corrosion testing
Unlock the Potential of Precision Testing with Industry-Leading Artificial Seawater
At US Corrosion Services, we understand the importance of accurate and consistent testing environments. That’s why we are proud to offer our ASTM D1141-compliant artificial seawater, meticulously formulated to support your corrosion testing, research, and development needs with unparalleled precision and reliability. We offer a range of sizes, including both liquid seawater and the solid sea salts for making your own liquid, in sizes ranging from 250 grams (about 1/2 pound) to 55 gallon drums. We also make customized blends if needed.
ASTM D1141 Specification: The Gold Standard in Simulated Seawater
Our artificial seawater adheres strictly to the ASTM D1141 standard, ensuring that you have the most accurate substitute for natural seawater. This specification outlines the precise chemical composition and preparation guidelines for synthetic seawater, making it an indispensable tool for:
- Corrosion Testing: Evaluate the performance of materials and protective coatings in marine environments.
- Research and Development: Facilitate the study of marine biology, chemical oceanography, and desalination processes.
- Quality Control: Ensure the consistency and reliability needed when testing products in artificial seawater.
Product Specifications
Compliance: Fully compliant with ASTM D1141-98(2013) standards. Composition: Contains all major sea salts in accurate proportions, including sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate, and potassium bromide, among others. We also provide the ‘heavy metals’ version of artificial seawater.
pH Level: Adjusted to closely mimic the natural seawater pH range per the ASTM spec.
Availability: Offered in various volumes to suit your project needs, from small-scale laboratory tests to large industrial applications. We can supply in solid form or as pre-mixed liquid.
