When it comes to immersion service coatings, making the right choice can save significant time, money, and equipment life. Instead of relying solely on lab data, field-test coupons in real plant operating service provide proven, site-specific results—removing the guesswork from coating selection.
How Field-Test Coupons Work
Curran International partners with clients to design and run in-plant coating evaluations. Our team often fabricates custom test fixtures to ensure accurate and repeatable results.
One example is our trident-style fixture:
- Three coated rods mounted to a threaded blind, attached to a flanged head
- Designed to test multiple coatings simultaneously
- Corrosion performance measured against an uncoated control rod
- Easy to maintain—simply remove the head for inspection and reinstallation
Benefits of Coating Field Testing
- Real-world validation of coating performance in your plant environment
- Side-by-side comparison of multiple protective coatings
- Ability to customize fixtures for unique equipment or process conditions
- Data-driven confidence in coating selection before full-scale application
