Corrosion testing in aggresive gaseous environments

Advanced testing of materials exposed to aggressive gaseous conditions

At SUDFLUOR, we offer expert corrosion testing in gas environments to determine how materials such as metals, alloys, polymers, plastics, and coatings perform when exposed to aggressive gaseous atmospheres, including reactive species such as fluorine, chlorine, oxygen, and other corrosive gases. Our services are designed for manufacturers and engineers who need to qualify materials for use in extreme chemical environments.

Types of gases used (fluorine, chlorine, oxygen, others)

We perform corrosion testing using a selection of corrosive gases to accurately replicate industrial exposure conditions.

Fluorine (F₂)
Highly reactive gas used in various industrial processes requiring specialized corrosion testing.

Chlorine (Cl₂)
Strong oxidizing agent common in chemical industries, causing significant material corrosion.

Oxygen (O₂)
Accelerates oxidation and degradation, especially under high temperature or pressure.

Custom Gas Mixtures
Specific reactive or corrosive gases tested upon request to simulate unique industrial conditions.

Why conduct gas corrosion tests

Our corrosion testing in gas environments helps you choose the right materials for equipment that must withstand severe gas exposure. These tests are also essential for assessing the durability of protective coatings and identifying long-term degradation mechanisms before failure occurs.

By analyzing how a material behaves over time, we help reduce the risk of unplanned downtime, increase component reliability, and extend service life in demanding applications.

What we evaluate
We analyze several key factors during gas-phase corrosion tests. This includes measuring corrosion rates, observing visible surface changes such as discoloration, oxidation, or pitting, and detecting internal damage that may not be immediately visible. We also evaluate how well surface treatments and coatings withstand gas exposure.

Every test is followed by a detailed report that includes test conditions, high-resolution images, quantitative results, and expert recommendations for material selection or further improvement.

Industries we serve
Our corrosion testing in gas environments supports a wide range of industries including chemical processing, energy, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing. These sectors often face harsh chemical atmospheres that require materials with proven resistance to reactive gases.

SUDFLUOR helps you qualify, compare, and validate materials for your most demanding environments—ensuring performance, safety, and regulatory compliance.
