Honeywell Corrosion Services

Honeywell corrosion solutions including the proprietary SmartCET on-line Corrosion Transmitter and complementary software tools can help reduce corrosion costs to process industries by up to 20 Percent. But corrosion detection is just one step
toward solving plant and field corrosion problems. Honeywells integrated approach to taming corrosion and its effects
includes expert services and evaluation based on in depth industry knowledge and many years of hands-on experience.

of testing capabilities that are fully compliant per NACE, ASTM,
ISO or EFC standard methodologies.

Testing Services
Additionally, it is often necessary to perform non-standard testing
Honeywells corrosion research laboratory specializes in the
evaluation of metals, polymers, ceramics and coatings. The most
advanced materials and sophisticated simulated service environment test equipment is available for support. Full-scale
evaluations of load-carrying and pressurized components can be
provided to support your specific tests.
Test services include:

Standardized and Modified Testing Per ISO, ASTM and

NACE, and EFC Methodologies

Environmental Cracking Evaluations

Hydrogen Embrittlement

Slow Strain Rate Testing

High Pressure H2S / CO2 & Multiphase Exposures

Crude Oil Corrosivity Testing (Naphthenic & Sulfidic

Corrosion Evaluations)

to simulate either an specific environmental condition or a

reasonable worst case scenario. Our laboratory routinely
conducts modified NACE, ASTM or EFC standard tests to meet
those non-standard conditions. Typically, the aqueous solution,
temperature, or partial pressures of the gas thus can be modified
to suit the client needs.
Corrosion Fatigue & Crack Growth Evaluations: Materials are
often placed in a service condition with exposure to cyclic
stresses. Honeywells Technical Services has the capabilities to
perform fatigue testing under different mean stress levels
providing much needed input into fracture mechanics analyses
and fitness-for-service assessments. A particular focus over the
past several years is the need to understand not only the effect of
cyclic stresses in air but how the material behaves in a corrosive
fatigue environment. Our facility has developed custom fatigue
equipment to accommodate up to 30 specimens tested
simultaneously while exposed to a variety of simulated service
environments. In addition, our labs are also capable of measuring
da/dN vs dK, and sub-critical crack growth rates due to sustained

Joint Industry Programs

Value Oriented Solutions

Some of the most often cited reasons for contacting with
Honeywell Corrosion Solutions are:

Reduced operational risk with access to corrosion and

stress cracking data under simulated service conditions.

Increased reliability and reduced unplanned outages

based on knowledge of expected operational limits.

Push operational boundaries through evaluation of

alternative materials for process plant and downhole
applications.

Quick response to client needs and requirements for

better performance information on corrosion resistant
alloys.

Optimize chemical treatments by screening and

evaluation of corrosion treatment chemicals.

Better technical basis for refinery crude selection and

blending strategies.

Honeywells Joint Industry Programs is a specialized corrosion

engineering and research services. Joint Industry Programs are
dedicated to the investigation of common industrial corrosion
problem. Each Joint Industry Program targets a specific industrial
need in which all the sponsoring members of the specific
program share in the cost and results of the research study to
provide, cost-effective, value-oriented solutions particularly where
barriers to increased performance, reliability or throughput are
issues. Additionally, sponsors can extend the research and have
the option to run additional tests conducted on their behalf under
similar conditions on a proprietary basis.
