Cathodic Disbondment Testing

Cathodic disbondment is the loss of adhesion between a protective coating and a metallic substrate due to electrochemical reactions in cathodic protection systems. This can lead to premature coating failure, exposing the material to corrosion and structural degradation.

At Advanced Engineering Consultancy and Testing Laboratory (AECTL), we offer Cathodic Disbondment Testing to assess coating adhesion performance under simulated cathodic protection conditions, ensuring compliance with industry standards and client specifications.

Our Cathodic Disbondment Testing is Conducted in Accordance with:

✔ ASTM G8 – Standard Test Methods for Cathodic Disbonding of Pipeline Coatings.

✔ ASTM G42 – Standard Test Method for Cathodic Disbonding of Pipeline Coatings Subjected to Elevated Temperatures.

✔ AS/NZS 4352 – Cathodic Disbondment Test for Coated Steel Structures.

Our Cathodic Disbondment Testing Capabilities Include:

✅ Coating Adhesion & Performance Evaluation – Measuring coating resistance to cathodic-induced failure.

✅ Accelerated Degradation Simulation – Assessing long-term coating performance under electrochemical stress.

✅ Pipeline & Infrastructure Protection – Ensuring coatings meet industry standards for oil, gas, and marine applications.

✅ Temperature & Voltage Variation Testing – Evaluating coating durability under different cathodic protection conditions.

✅ Failure Analysis & Quality Control – Identifying weaknesses in coatings before field application.

Our Cathodic Disbondment Testing is essential for pipelines, marine structures, buried steel infrastructure, and industrial coatings, helping industries ensure long-term corrosion protection and regulatory compliance.
