Laboratory Testing: Pitting Corrosion Testing for GHS Compliance. Ensure Safe Classification of Your Materials

Detect Pitting Corrosion Quickly and Accurately Pitting corrosion can compromise the safety and structural integrity of metal storage tanks. Our testing services provide precise measurements to help you meet GHS compliance requirements and ensure the safe handling of corrosive liquids.

Purpose of Our Service LCS Laboratory Inc. specializes in providing accurate pitting corrosion analysis for the classification of materials under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). By understanding the rate and extent of pitting corrosion, our clients can ensure compliance with international safety standards and prevent costly failures.

Technical Details of Our Testing

The test determines the depth of corrosion cavities formed on the surface of steel and aluminum coupons.
Results are reported as the maximum pitting corrosion rate, expressed in µm/7 days.
The testing process follows the methodology outlined in OSHA Hazard Classification Guidance for Manufacturers, Importers, and Employers (OSHA 3844-02 2016).
Testing is conducted at 55°C over a 7-day period, simulating accelerated corrosion conditions to provide timely and reliable results.
This analysis is tailored for the classification of corrosive liquids under GHS standards.

Why Pitting Corrosion Testing Matters Pitting corrosion is highly localized, creating small cavities that can lead to significant risks, including:

Rapid Material Failure: Even small pits can compromise structural integrity.
Detection Challenges: Pits often form in hidden areas, making early identification difficult.
Accelerated Damage: Pitting serves as a focal point for further corrosion.
Safety Risks: Corrosion-induced leaks may release hazardous materials, posing environmental and operational dangers.
