Welcome to Midland Corrosion Services
Midland Corrosion Services (MCS) has been providing independent testing and consultancy services to industries in the area of corrosion since 2001.
We are a dedicated team of professionals with over 30 years of combined experience in corrosion, materials science, and engineering.
Our areas of expertise consist of
-
building services (closed heating and cooling systems or domestic hot and cold water systems) - hospitals, schools, commercial dwellings, private houses, leisure centres and other construction sites
-
testing of corrosion inhibitors, cleaning agents, and chemicals used in water systems
-
wastewater treatment plants
-
metallic structures in buildings
-
ductwork systems in crematorium
-
medical equipment
-
train/railway systems
-
automobile components
-
packaging materials
-
electronic systems
-
cable suspension/trunking systems in buildings
-
marine sectors
We investigate and assess corrosion in metallic/non-metallic pipework, heat exchangers/boilers, pumps, valves, water cylinders, vessels, rotors, alloy wheels, medical tools, rail tracks, rail connection systems, metal packaging materials, metallic electronic systems, cable suspension systems, water systems in marine sectors and much more.
We also provide corrosion investigation and consultancy in renewable energy sectors such as wind farm or solar panel systems.
The material of our work varies in a wide range covering copper, brass, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloys, titanium alloys, plastic, rubber and others.
Over the last 30 years, MCS has attracted a broad mix of clients ranging from major blue-chip construction or chemical companies to small plumbing firms. We also work for insurance companies and solicitors, often in litigation cases.
We work closely with NSF to test corrosion inhibitor products for the NSF CIAS certification.
The NSF Chemical Inhibitor Approval Scheme (CIAS, formerly BuildCert) assesses the performance of chemical inhibitors for use in domestic hot water central heating systems to restrict the formation of limescale, reduce metallic corrosion, and ensure compatibility with non-metallic components.
We provide and design corrosion coupon holders for domestic/commercial water pipework. We also provide full assessment services for coupon weight loss and corrosion rate determination as per ASTM G1 / BS EN 8407.
In May 2018, MCS became part of the Sandberg Group, giving MCS access to highly professional and independent consultants, laboratories, site survey teams and testing as well as analytical equipment.
