ENAC 337/LE1870 SCOPE

Control of processes, products and facilities

Canagrosa is specialised in carrying out periodic controls and tests on parts and panels programmed to verify the efficiency of the industrial process applied, offering integral management that includes the planning of the tests in accordance with the applicable regulations and the sampling by specialised personnel.

PLANNING AND SAMPLING

Comprehensive management for analysis and sampling by specialised personnel for chemical processes.

PERIODIC TESTS IN CHEMICAL PROCESSES

Planning and evaluation of periodic test of chemical process installations.
Analysis of chemical surface treatment baths and rinsing water.
Evaluation of results and trends according to the standards of the main OEMs.

Cleaning, rinsing water and deionized water systems.
Attack and embrittlement of tanks solutions: etch rate, intergranular corrosion and grain pitting, hydrogen absorption in titanium and alloys (pick up), hydrogen embrittlement by sustained load test and hydrogen embrittlement test in tank solutions (BPPM).
Crack inspection process solutions: penetrant fluids and magnetic particle inspection fluids.
Cutting fluids (drilling fluids).

Customised chemical testing or control for a given process.

PHYSICAL TESTS

Tests on processed parts and specimens to determine the physical and mechanical characteristics of the material and its reaction to controlled conditions.
