Automated corrosion rating recognised in revised ASTM D665-25 standard

AD Systems' more than seven years of hard work to improve, prove, and approve automated corrosion rating technology has been recognised by the industry.

The new revision of ASTM D665-25 "Rust-Preventive Characteristics of Inhibited Mineral Oils" includes the CT10 automated instrument as an alternative to traditional visual assessment.

By eliminating the subjectivity inherent in visual evaluation, digital vision technology provides a fast, accurate, and objective corrosion rating, significantly improving the reliability of the test method.

Among ASTM D665, this versatile algorithm performs well for automated corrosion assessment according to NACE TM0172, ASTM D7548, and ISO 7120 test methods, suitable for both research and routine applications.

With its compact design, robust construction and ease of use, the CT10 provides a fully traceable and documented test report, including images of the test specimen surface. With automated corrosion bath CB10 and automated corrosion rater CT10, AD Systems offers a full set of equipment to analyse the corrosion of iron in fuels, turbine oils, and hydraulic fluids, and to evaluate the performance of corrosion inhibitors.
