ASTM G18 Accelerated Corrosion Testing: A Comprehensive Guide to Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

ASTM G18 Accelerated Corrosion Testing is a laboratory test method for evaluating the corrosion resistance of materials and coatings. This standard, developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), provides a detailed procedure for testing the corrosion behavior of materials under accelerated conditions.

Relevant Standards

  • ASTM G18: Standard Test Method for Evaluating the Resistance of Metallic-Coated Steel Products to Corrosive Environments

  • ISO 1461: Specification for Hot-Dip Galvanized Coatings on Fabricated Steel Articles

  • EN ISO 1461: European standard for hot-dip galvanized coatings on fabricated steel articles

  • TSE 1439: Turkish standard for corrosion-resistant materials

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The testing of materials and coatings is subject to various national and international regulations. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates the labeling and advertising of products related to corrosion resistance.

    In Europe, the European Unions Construction Products Regulation (EU) 305/2011 sets out requirements for the assessment and declaration of performance of construction products, including corrosion-resistant materials.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is a leading developer of standards for testing and evaluation. The organization has developed over 12,000 standards, covering various industries such as materials science, mechanical engineering, and environmental science.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve through a continuous process of revision and updating. New standards are developed to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or industry practices. Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest developments in standardization and ensures that our laboratory testing services comply with the most recent versions of relevant standards.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

    ASTM G18 covers the test method for evaluating the corrosion resistance of metallic-coated steel products under accelerated conditions. The scope of the standard includes:

  • Test procedure

  • Sample preparation
