Compatibility Testing is a set of tests that determine a material’s resistance to exposure and aging in specific environments.
Extreme service environments can have different chemicals present, including acids, bases, brines, hydrocarbons, and more. Extreme temperatures and pressures are also frequently encountered. Alpine offers several standard and customized tests that certify elastomers, plastics, and metals as resistant to these environments, as well as comprehensive mechanical testing after exposure.
Standards we support include ISO 23936-1, ISO 23936-2, NORSOK M710, ASTM D471, and bespoke testing options to ensure that our data can match our customer’s needs.
