Our ASTM G198 Testing Services
There are two different methods, and research by the US Forest Service shows they achieve different types of corrosive activity, which can be helpful for testing in comparison to different environments.
1. Cyclic Exposure Testing: Our state-of-the-art testing facility is equipped to perform cyclic exposure tests in accordance with ASTM G198. This testing method involves subjecting materials and coatings to alternating cycles of wet and dry conditions, replicating real-world conditions. Cyclic exposure testing is ideal for assessing the durability of your products and ensuring they can withstand the harshest environments.
2. Humidity Exposure Testing: Humidity exposure testing evaluates how materials and coatings react to high humidity levels. It’s a crucial test for products exposed to moisture-rich environments. Our experts perform humidity exposure tests in accordance with ASTM G198 to provide you with precise data on the corrosion resistance of your materials.
Why Use ASTM G198 Testing for Fasteners?
The ASTM G198 standard provides a reliable framework for assessing the corrosion resistance of materials and coatings in various environments. It specifically focuses on cyclic and humidity exposure testing, making it an indispensable tool for industries where corrosion poses a significant threat.
