KAILUA, Hawaii - Oct. 6, 2015 - PRLog -- Makai's Marine Corrosion Laboratory is a unique facility for research, development, testing & evaluation (RDT&E) in the field of marine corrosion. The facility is ideally suited for marine-related materials evaluation due to its pollution-free, non-estuarine environment. The facility also provides direct access to deep and surface seawater pumped from some of the world’s largest and deepest seawater intake pipelines, emulating the corrosive environments experienced by offshore vessels and equipment.
Makai uses traditional and novel methods to measure corrosion rates. Unique to Makai’s lab is a state-of-the-art Automated Corrosion Measurement System (ACMS). This system takes long-term measurements of corrosion samples non-destructively and continuously while in-situ – without removing them from the rack. Implementing an automated pit recognition routine is possible with Makai’s image recognition software capabilities. Clients can monitor hundreds of samples remotely (over the web) and efficiently, reducing human error, travel time, and labor cost.
