ES, Assessing Materials Performance in Corrosion Tests - Acuity

Increase Confidence When Assessing Materials Performance

The Acuity ES System enables materials engineers and coating chemists to track corrosivity in any environment. For any corrosion test, Acuity ES increases confidence when assessing materials performance by providing a continuous record of corrosivity and environment parameters.

Track Corrosivity in Any Environment

The Acuity ES system is designed for versatile deployment across multiple testing scenarios including accelerated tests, outdoor exposures, and real-world applications on aircraft, automobiles, and infrastructure. This flexibility ensures comprehensive corrosion monitoring regardless of the testing environment.

Smart Data Management with C-DAT Integration

Now enhanced by C-DAT (Corrosion Data Analysis Tool), the Acuity ES seamlessly integrates with analysis software for quick analysis, powerful insights, and clear decisions about corrosivity in any environment. C-DAT provides smart storage, rapid analysis, seamless sharing capabilities, and powerful visualization tools.

Key Features

The system continuously records environmental conditions driving corrosion while tracking corrosivity by monitoring salt deposition on the surface. Its low cost design enables widespread monitoring of corrosion testing. The compact and lightweight construction features a durable sensor element with no consumable components, allowing for repeated reuse in testing. Additionally, the system offers options for integration into customer data management or networked systems.

Standards Compliance

Acuity ES systems are compliant with multiple industry standards including ANSI/NACE TM0416-2023 for Test Method for Monitoring Atmospheric Corrosion, ISO 22858:2020 for Corrosion of metals and alloys – Electrochemical measurements, AMPP TM21449-2021 for Continuous Measurements for Determination of Coating Protective Properties, and SAE AIR6970 for Atmospheric Corrosion Monitoring Information Report.
