Detection of Iron on Passivated Steel – Contamination test

Ensuring the effectiveness of passivation is critical in preventing corrosion and maintaining the durability of stainless-steel components. Our iron contamination detection test evaluates the presence of free iron or other contaminants on passivated steel surfaces that could lead to premature corrosion or staining.

Our testing methods include:

· Ferroxyl Test (ASTM A380 Section 7.2.5.3) – Detects free iron on stainless steel surfaces.

· Copper Sulfate Test (ASTM A967 Practice D) – Identifies iron contamination through visual inspection.

· Water Immersion Test (ASTM A967 Practice E) – Assesses surface passivation effectiveness.

We are ISO 17025 NATA accredited for this test, ensuring the highest level of accuracy, reliability, and compliance with international standards. Our services are available both on-site and in-office, providing flexibility to meet your specific project needs.

If you need iron contamination testing for quality control, compliance, or failure prevention, our team is here to assist.
