Product Lineup

Friction and Wear Testing

Custom Friction, Wear, and Galling Systems for material testing in High Temperature, High Pressure (HPHT) Autoclave Environments.

Cortest has partnered with laboratories around the world to commission equipment for use with ASTM G77, ASTM G98, ASTM G99, ASTM G196, and custom test specifications. While many of these test specifications are designed for open air testing, we are able to adapt these tests to work inside Autoclave Environments and have even paired them with our Circulating Flow Loops. Our software controls both linear and rotary motion and can collect data from load cells, torque transducers, and linear displacement transducers to log, display, and analyze test data in real time.

CERT/SSRT Load Frames

Cortest Load Frames are Test Equipment designed for Slow Strain Rate Testing (SSRT), Constant Extension Rate Testing (CERT), Corrosion Fatigue Testing (CF), and other custom applications requiring mechanical loading. These systems use pull-through rod systems that allow them to use Autoclaves, Tempressure Vessels, or Ambient Condition Test Chambers to simulate corrosive field conditions in High Temperature High Pressure (HPHT) environments.

Load Frame testing is performed in accordance with NACE standard TM-0198 and are designed to be extremely ‘stiff’ to minimize machine compliance. Each testing system comes complete with Cortest’s proprietary software and data acquisition system. The operator interface features an intuitive setup screen that allows the user to easily set-up, run, monitor, and review tests.

Cortest Load Frame Test Systems can be supplied with pull-through Autoclaves that conform to international standards such as PED, CSA, CE, CRN, DOSH, and the China Special Equipment Manufacture License.

HPHT Circulating Flow Loop Systems

High Temperature, High Pressure (HPHT) Circulating Flow Loops are used to test materials in high purity water environments. These systems can create supercritical and multiphase conditions such as those seen in Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) and Boiling Water Reactors (BWR). Our HPHT Circulating Flow Loops include a pumping system, heaters, heat exchangers, filters, thermocouples, and equipment for measuring water conditions including dissolved oxygen, dissolved hydrogen, pH, and conductivity.

HPHT Circulating Flow Loops feed conditioned water to Autoclave systems including our Load Frames. Tensile tests, Slow Strain Rate tests (SSRT), Corrosion Fatigue Tests, and crack growth studies are performed using Cortest’s proprietary pull-through Autoclave. Control of the flow loop, autoclave, load frame, and crack growth measurements are integrated into a single computer and control module.

Applications

  • Pipeline Corrosion Testing: Simulate real-world flow conditions (e.g., corrosion flow, slug flow, stratified flow) to evaluate material resistance in oil & gas pipelines and process systems.
  • Multiphase Flow Studies: Perform controlled experiments with single-phase and multiphase (liquid/gas) flows to study hydrodynamic effects on corrosion, scaling, and erosion.
  • Material Qualification & R&D: Support materials research and product development by replicating operational flow environments for testing coatings, alloys, and corrosion inhibitors.

Advance your corrosion and materials testing with CORTEST’s high-performance equipment from Flow Loop Systems and HIC test tanks to Autoclaves and Load Frames. For more information or to schedule a consultation, please contact us today.
