Rising Step Load – RSL Testing

Corrosion Experts - Consulting and Testing Services

Fast, Accurate, Reproducible, and Quantitative

US Corrosion Services is a leading provide of RSL testing, a patented method developed by Dr. Lou Raymond. RSL provides the fastest reproducible test for all kinds of environmental cracking, including stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, and sour stress corrosion.

What is the advantage of Rising Step Load?

The advantages of a rising step load include the ability to simulate realistic and dynamic conditions for testing and optimization. It allows for the gradual and systematic scaling of resources, ensuring smoother transitions and improved performance under increasing demand.

How does Rising Step Load testing work?

Rising step load tests involve gradually increasing the applied load on samples to evaluate their performance and capacity. This testing methodology helps identify bottlenecks, stress points, and performance limits, allowing for proactive optimization and ensuring that the system can handle growing demands effectively.

What types of samples can be used?

Rising step load testing is applicable to samples of all kinds and sizes. In addition the numerous standard specimen designs provided in ASTM F519, US Corrosion can also tests many other sizes and types of samples. We’ve evaluated everything from 1.25″ long screws to 36′ long bolts!

Can I Test per ASTM F519 with a Rapid Test?

Absolutely. The rising step load method allows ASTM F519 testing to be completed in 1-2 business days, which helps you be confident the parts you are making and shipping will be safe for use.
