Barcol Hardness Testing
Keep your GRP tanks in the best possible condition with our Barcol Hardness Testing service!
This quick and easy non-destructive method can detect any softening or degradation of your GRP tanks, helping to identify potential problems early on and avoid costly failures.
Detect degradation in your tanks with our Barcol Hardness Testing service
GRP storage tanks are essential for many businesses, but they can be susceptible to damage and degradation over time. Barcol Hardness Testing is a quick and easy way to assess the condition of your GRP tanks and identify any potential problems early on.
Barcol Hardness Testing is a non-destructive method that measures the hardness of rigid plastics by pressing a spring-loaded indenter into the surface and measuring the depth of penetration. The higher the Barcol hardness, the harder the material.
A decrease in Barcol hardness can indicate that the GRP has softened due to age, chemical exposure, or other factors. This can make the tank more susceptible to failure, so it’s important to identify and address any problems as soon as possible. By regularly scheduling Barcol Hardness Tests, you can help to ensure that your GRP storage tanks are in good condition and that they will continue to operate safely and reliably for years to come.
