Are atmospheric conditions contributing to corrosion?
In some cases, corrosion of a structure may be caused by elements in the atmosphere. These airborne chemicals can include:
- Salt in the sea air
- Corrosive chemicals from the discharge of chemical plants
- Airborne dust
- Other elements that can induce corrosion and accelerate the rate of corrosion
During a preliminary corrosion analysis of a structure, it may be determined that it is necessary to conduct atmospheric inspection or testing. MATCOR technicians are able to:
- Provide a complete inspection of the structure
- Test and analyze air samples
- Gather, test and analyze sample deposits on the structure or in the structure such as in concrete
- Provide a complete report of atmospheric survey results and recommendations
