CorroTest Pro Autoclave System
Summary
My company, CorroTest Pro, is developing an advanced autoclave system to help materials engineers and researchers conduct precise corrosion testing with automated controls and enhanced safety features.
Problem statement
Customers struggle with accurately testing material corrosion resistance under controlled high-pressure, high-temperature conditions which causes unreliable product performance predictions and potential safety failures in real-world applications.
Solution
CorroTest Pro is an automated autoclave system that accelerates corrosion testing by simulating harsh environmental conditions (high temperature, pressure, and corrosive atmospheres) in a controlled laboratory setting. The system enables materials engineers and researchers to evaluate corrosion resistance of metals, alloys, and protective coatings in days rather than months or years of real-world exposure. It provides standardized testing protocols with precise data logging and reporting capabilities for reliable, repeatable results.
Growth metric
The key metric to focus on is number of industrial facilities using CorroTest Pro systems for critical infrastructure testing. To scale this metric to affect 1 million people, the company should partner with major oil & gas, chemical, and power generation companies to standardize their corrosion testing protocols across all facilities, and develop modular, cost-effective versions that enable smaller manufacturing plants and municipal water treatment facilities to adopt the technology.
