CR, Autonomous Corrosion Monitoring in Chambers and Outdoor - Acuity

Autonomous Corrosion Monitoring Solution

The Acuity CR System provides autonomous corrosion monitoring capabilities for accelerated test chambers and outdoor exposure fixtures. This advanced system enhances corrosion test methods to improve confidence when assessing protective properties of coatings and determining corrosion performance of engineering alloys.

Advanced Sensorized Test Panels

Utilizing sensorized test panels that autonomously record corrosion rates and environment severity, the Acuity CR increases confidence in corrosion testing of coatings and materials in accelerated environments. The system enables users to classify or model environment severity, assess the performance of materials such as steel, aluminum, zinc, titanium, and assess the performance of protective coatings.

Continuous Data Collection

The systems continuously collect critical data including air temperature, relative humidity (RH), surface contaminants, free corrosion of alloys, and galvanic corrosion of different materials, providing comprehensive insights into corrosion processes.

Enhanced by C-DAT Software

The system is now enhanced by C-DAT (Corrosion Data Analysis Tool), which offers smart storage, rapid analysis, seamless sharing, and powerful visuals. This analysis software seamlessly integrates with Acuity CR for quick analysis, powerful insights, and clear decisions when assessing coatings and performance.
