Introducing the ANA: Automated NACE Apparatus (ANA)

The Automated NACE Apparatus (ANA) is a groundbreaking device designed for the preparation of corrosion specimens for ASTM and NACE testing methods. The ANA sets a new standard in corrosion testing automation, offering unparalleled accuracy, ease of use, and efficiency. Its fully automated design eliminates manual handling errors, ensuring compliance with industry standards while saving operator time.

ANA automates the critical steps of NACE TM0172, ASTM D665, and ASTM D7548, ensuring precision, repeatability, and operator efficiency. Automated specimen preparation and testing include liquid handling with a peristaltic dispensing pump, specimen placement after temperature stabilization, stirring, and removing the specimen after the test completion to eliminate manual steps prone to error.

The electro-mechanical head includes a temperature probe, stainless steel mixing motor, and automated specimen holder for precise operation. A built-in reservoir ensures easy water handling, with automated dispensing and draining. A touchscreen interface with intuitive software and in-built methods simplifies operation, requiring minimal training. Factory-calibrated temperature, speed, and timing parameters ensure consistent and reliable results. The temperature range for the ANA is 30°C to 100°C, with a maximum mixing speed of 1,000 RPM. The ANA is ideal for laboratories with space constraints, featuring a lightweight, benchtop-friendly structure. The design is compact with dimensions of 15” H x 8” W x 15” D (38 x 20 x 38 cm) and a weight of 10 lbs (4.5 kg).

Applications:
Corrosion analysis in steel pipelines, tanks, and industrial equipment.
Verification of inhibiting oils and lubricants in machinery and petroleum industries.
Iron corrosion ratings procedure from rating A to E.

Key Measuring Parameters:
Preparation of corrosion specimens for ASTM and NACE testing methods.

The ANA is backed by a comprehensive 1-year warranty, with an option to extend coverage for an additional year upon compliance with the manufacturer’s terms.

FeDDI – Iron Digital Detection Imaging

FeDDI / Iron corrosion

Ratings from A to E
Compliant with ASTM D665, D7548, and NACE TM0172

Introducing the FeDDI: automated iron corrosion analysis for reliable results

The Iron Digital Detection Imaging (FeDDI) sets a new benchmark in corrosion testing by combining cutting-edge technology with ease of use. The problem that laboratories often face when testing iron bullets in compliance with ASTM and NACE standards is that they tend to over-rate the samples by considering the entire corrosion cluster as a corroded area, which is inaccurate. Within those areas, some parts are not corroded. The FeDDI system can detect and show corrosion results in percentage with an accuracy of ±0.01%. Additionally, at lower ratings of A and B, manually counting the corroded area is a tedious task, but FeDDI performs this process automatically and efficiently. Its bias-free operation ensures consistent, reliable results, making it an essential tool for laboratories and industries focused on quality control and compliance.

Automated optical analysis

One reliable result.

Advanced optics and algorithms in place of subjective visual assessment.

Designed to comply with ASTM D665, ASTM D7548, and NACE TM0172 standards, FeDDI eliminates subjective visual assessments with a high-resolution camera and fully automated process. In less than 6 minutes, 546 photos of the sample are gathered to create a composite image of 2.8 million pixels, resolving 0.035 mm per pixel. A four-step algorithm identifies and rates corrosivity, providing digital documentation and classification.

Under six minutes. Fully documented.

The FeDDI achieves accurate ratings in under 6 minutes, saving time while maintaining reliability. It generates detailed, comprehensive 360° zoomable images of all sides of the bullet-shape sample, with a summary table of results, and optional manual overrides for expert verification. With a compact design of 14 × 12 × 11 in (35 × 30 × 27 cm), the FeDDI is ideal for laboratory environments.

Applications of the FeDDI include

Corrosion analysis in steel pipelines, tanks, and industrial equipment
Verification of inhibiting oils and lubricants in machinery and petroleum industries
