Simulating industrial processes in the laboratory requires facilities to safely handle high temperatures and high pressures, highly corrosive chemicals and toxic materials, as well as the ability to mechanically load test samples during exposure.
The high temperature and high pressure (HTHP) laboratory of TECNALIA has autoclaves, mainly focused on sour and non-sour applications. Corrosion and cracking phenomena which may result from exposure of steels and alloys to H2S, CO2 and brines, are carefully assessed.

HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HIGH PRESSURE
CORROSION TESTING AUTOCLAVES
Simulating industrial processes in the laboratory requires
facilities to safely handle high temperatures and high
pressures, highly corrosive chemicals and toxic materials,
as well as the ability to mechanically load test samples
during exposure. The high temperature and high pressure
(HTHP) laboratory of Tecnalia has autoclaves, mainly
focused on sour and non-sour applications. Corrosion and
cracking phenomena which may result from exposure of
steels and alloys to H2S, CO2 and brines, are carefully
assessed.
HTHP AUTOCLAVES
10 autoclaves: 2 autoclave systems mounted in slow
strain rate (SSR) loading mode and eight static
autoclaves,
- Design pressure up to 350 bar and temperatures up
to 400 °C
- 45 kN SSRT autoclaves
- Volumes from 2 to 5 liters
- Available in different materials of construction:
Hastelloy C276 and zirconium
- Non-stirred / stirred autoclave system (50-3000 rpm)
HTHP CORROSION TESTING
1. HPHT H2S/CO2 exposures for environmental
cracking and corrosion rate evaluation
Corrosion behavior of materials in the service environment is an important
factor for selection of materials in processing plants, refinery applications or
environments containing corrosive species such as CO2, H2S and chlorides.
Corrosion rate determination: ASTM G111, ASTM G28, NACE TM0169.
Pitting and crevice corrosion testing: ASTM G48.

4. Evaluation and Selection of Corrosion Inhibitors
2. Slow strain rate test (SSRT)
The SSRT is a method used for screening corrosion-resistant
alloys (CRA) used in oilfield production environments.
The SSR test for resistance to SCC uses slow, dynamic strain
applied at a constant rate.
SCC susceptibility is evaluated according to NACE TM-
0198 and ASTM G-129.
Advanced post-test analysis techniques
Optical and electron microscopes, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-
ray diffraction (XRD), and RAMAN analysis of corrosion products.
