Corrosion Engineering Services
Corrosion coupon testing exposes small samples of known material for a measured period, then evaluates mass loss and the form of attack to compare conditions or monitor change.
Service overview
Calicore can help select representative locations, document exposure conditions, establish retrieval intervals, track coupon handling, and interpret results in the context of operating and environmental conditions.
Where controlled cleaning, mass-loss determination, or metallurgical testing is required, Calicore coordinates the appropriate laboratory procedure and incorporates the results into a clear engineering evaluation.
Step by step
The exact scope is matched to the project, but a typical assignment follows these steps.
We define the coupon material, surface condition, location, duration, operating environment, and the comparison the program must support.
Each coupon is logged and installed so its location, exposed area, dates, and handling can be traced.
Coupons are photographed, preserved, and sent through the specified cleaning, mass-loss, or specialty examination procedure.
Average mass loss, visible pitting, deposits, and operating changes are considered together rather than using one calculated rate by itself.
Review criteria
A coupon result is meaningful only for its material, location, exposure period, and recorded operating conditions.

Common project needs
Frequently asked
Coupon data can support comparative and rate-based decisions, but service-life estimates must account for exposure variability, localized attack, operating changes, and the representativeness of the test.
Yes. Calicore can review placement, handling, test intervals, recorded conditions, and how the results are being used.
