Equipment
Exhaust Corrosion Fatigue Tester
Overview
The Exhaust Corrosion Fatigue Tester is capable of running an accelerated corrosion test on an exhaust flex hose or exhaust de-coupler according to various customer-specific tests. Relative corrosion performance between various designs is the main objective of this test. Test components are evaluated for various corrosion mechanisms including inter granular attack along the grain boundary of the material, trans granular stress corrosion cracking, pitting, general surface corrosion, and crevice corrosion.
Key Benefits
- Ability to operate under different test conditions and variables
- Ability to test between 6 and 12 flex hoses simultaneously
