AxxaVis™ HST-10 – An Environmentally Friendly and Effective Hydrostatic Testing Additive
Industry professionals widely perform hydrostatic testing as a standard method to verify the structural integrity and leak-tightness of pressure vessels. These include pipelines, plumbing systems, gas cylinders, boilers, above-ground storage tanks (ASTs), and fuel tanks. Testing these vessels is critical, especially when they are intended to transport or store gases. This is because failure under
The Various Official Flavors of the Jar Test: Evaluating the Efficacy of Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI)
The use of anti-corrosive packaging materials functionalized with volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI) to preserve processed metal parts is critical for any good corrosion management program. Evaluating the efficacy of VCI packaging to provide off-contact protection of steel surfaces is commonly performed in the laboratory using the Vapor-phase Inhibition Ability (VIA) test, also known as the
