Corrosion Testing Services for Data Center Reliability
The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) offers corrosion testing for data center materials to protect critical components from long-term degradation. We assess materials, coatings, and plating to help our data center clients make informed decisions from pre-construction through full operational life cycle.
What Causes Corrosion of Data Center Materials?
Corrosion can occur in data center materials made of metal, copper, or silver when exposed to environmental factors such as:
- Moisture and Humidity
- Thermal Conditions
- Rapid Temperature Cycling
- Airborne Particles, Dust, and Soot
- Salt Particles
- Chemical Residue (Chlorine, Ammonia, Cleaning Products)
- Poor Air Quality and Filtration Issues
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Gaseous Contaminants [Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), Sulfur dioxide (SO₂), Nitrogen oxides (NOx)]
How to Protect Critical Data Center Materials from Corrosion
Regular corrosion testing of data center materials can mitigate corrosion-related risks, preventing system failures and costly downtime.
In our state-of-the-art environmental simulation labs, trained ATS experts use standardized methods to measure and manage environmental risks that can lead to material corrosion. We deliver clear data and actionable insights to help protect data center equipment and maximize uptime.
We use precise methods tested to rigorous standards, including but not limited to:
- ASTM
- ISO
- IEC
- MIL-STD
About ATS
Founded in 1967, ATS has been a trusted partner for testing, inspection, certification, and calibration (TICC) services across various industries. Since joining SGS in 2026, we have expanded to serve clients globally.
In addition to corrosion testing, our metallurgy department can conduct root-cause analysis of corrosion-related failures. Our services are backed by an ISO 9001:2015-registered quality management system and multiple ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditations.
