Testing Facilities

Corrosion Testing Center

As the leading company in manufacturing specialty materials OCTG, SMI has a considerable corrosion testing capacity inclusive of NACE TM0177 A, B, C, D, SSRT, autoclaves and multipurpose test vessels.

NACE TM0177 Type A Testing Facilities

Hundreds of NACE A (Proof Ring) Test Cells are available:

  • Each cell is placed in a nitrogen chamber to avoid oxygen contamination.
  • Special equipments are used for tensile straining to avoid unnecessary torsion to the specimens.
  • Low temperatures NACE A Tensile tests can be performed upon request.
  • NACE Method A testing cells
  • More NACE Method A testing cells
  • Corrosion Test Specimens
  • Corrosion test autoclaves
  • DCB Test
  • Slow Strain Rate Test

Autoclaves and Multi-purpose Test Vessels

For other type of corrosion tests, such as 3-points bend, 4-points bend, C-Ring, DCB (Double Cantilever Beam), SSRT (Slow Strain Rate Test), coupon exposure & crevice tests SMI retains a number of Autoclaves & Multi-purpose Vessels.

 

Other Material Test Facilities

Mechanical Test

Besides Tensile Testing (ambient condition & Elevated temperature), Charpy Impact, Hardness, Flattening, Drop Weight Tear Test (DWTT), Fatigue, Compressive, Collapse, Burst Testing, etc. can be performed in SMI Testing Facilities.

Chemical Analysis, Physical & Micro Analysis

Specific equipments such as EDXA (Energy Dispersion X-Ray Analyzer), EPMA (Electron Probe Micro Analyzer) and others are available for in depth fit for purpose analysis.

Heat Treatment

Simulation of Heat Treatment processes inclusive of Thermo-Mechanical, as well as post manufacturing heat input can be carried in lab sized heat treatment furnaces to validate new manufacturing procedures, and specific post manufacturing process evaluation.
