Ding Testing & Inspection: Acidic Service Corrosion (SSC) Testing, Safeguarding Material Durability in Harsh Environments
Acidic service corrosion (SSC) testing is a method for evaluating the corrosion resistance of materials in environments containing hydrogen sulfide and other acidic media, which is crucial for the oil and gas industry. Ding Testing & Inspection's SSC testing service professionally assesses the corrosion and cracking risks of materials in acidic environments, ensuring the safety and reliability of equipment in the oil and gas industry.
Service Introduction
Acidic service conditions refer to environments in oil and gas exploration and production where there is a sufficient amount of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas. Materials exposed to wet H₂S in these acidic service environments may be susceptible to corrosion and cracking, potentially leading to catastrophic failures. Acidic service is one of the most challenging issues in oil/gas/marine engineering production. Today, deeper wells, higher pressures, and extreme corrosive conditions present even greater challenges in acidic service environments.
Through SSC testing, the vulnerability of materials exposed to these acidic environments to corrosion and cracking can be assessed. These tests are crucial for ensuring the safety and durability of oil and gas pipelines and storage containers and help determine the most suitable materials and corrosion inhibitors for use in these corrosive environments.
Ding Testing & Inspection's technical team has over 15 years of experience in SSC testing. Leveraging our global expertise and advanced, rigorous corrosion testing and evaluation capabilities, we provide comprehensive, high-quality, and reliable SSC testing services for the oil and gas industry, protecting you from corrosion-related failures. Our testing complies with recognized industry standards, including EFC 16 and 17, NACE TM0177, NACE TM0284, and NACE TM0316. This allows for the qualification of corrosion-resistant alloys and steels for service in a wide range of sour service environments in accordance with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156.
