Corrosion

AREPA detects and analyses corrosion in technical installations. With specialist measurements, we identify risks and help prevent damage and downtime.

Our approach to corrosion detection and analysis

To assess the risk of corrosion, our specialists perform targeted measurements and analyses on installations, components and surfaces. Among other things, we investigate the presence of corrosive substances such as chlorides, fluorides and other ions that can corrode metals. 

Using various analytical techniques, we determine the degree of contamination and the possible impact on materials and electronic components. These measurements provide insight into how quickly corrosion can occur and which installations are most at risk. Based on this analysis, we draw up a clear recommendation for possible next steps. 

Corrosion analysis with a focus on continuity

Corrosion is caused by chemical reactions between contaminants and metal surfaces. In technical installations, this can lead to changes in electrical conductivity, among other things, causing equipment to stop functioning properly. 

When corrosion goes undetected, problems such as overheating, mechanical wear and tear or even short circuits can occur. By detecting and analysing corrosion in time, organisations gain insight into the condition of their installations and can take measures before failures occur. In this way, we help companies manage risks and ensure the continuity of their processes.

Frequently asked questions

When is corrosion analysis needed?

Corrosion analysis is often needed after incidents such as fire, smoke damage, water damage or chemical contamination. An analysis can also provide clarity when there is doubt about possible corrosive contamination.

What exactly is measured in corrosion analysis?

Among other things, we measure the presence and concentration of corrosive substances on surfaces and components. These substances can corrode metals and cause malfunctions in technical installations.

Is corrosion always visible?

No. Corrosive contamination is often not visible to the naked eye. Measurements and analyses are therefore necessary to determine the presence and severity of the risk.

What happens after the analysis?

Based on the measurement results, we advise on possible follow-up steps, such as cleaning, repair or additional inspections.

Can corrosion be prevented?

By detecting and analysing corrosion in time, risks can be spotted early. This helps to take preventive measures and limit damage to installations.
