Ferroxyl Testing
Responsive carry out Ferroxyl testing in accordance with ASTM A380 and ASTM A967.
This test is a highly sensitive test and should be performed when no traces of free iron or iron oxide is acceptable on the Passivated items. The test can be used on stainless steel to detect iron contamination, including iron-tool marks, residual-iron salts from pickling solutions, iron dust, iron deposits in welds, embedded iron or iron oxide, etc.
Due to the use of Potassium Ferricynide this test method cannot be employed in the food industry.
Passivity Testing
Its all very well carrying out pickling and passivation of a stainless welds but how do you know if the passive layer has grown back to allow suitable corrosion resistance.
Responsive can prove the passive layer is present by carrying out passivity testing using the Passi-test plus range of products.

Positive Material Identification & Chemical Analysis
Using x-ray fluorescence we can evaluate the chemical composition of a material. This is excellent for onsite testing when a materials history is unknown.
Welder Qualification & Welding Procedure Qualification
Welder training and qualification - coding to ISO 9606, ASME and more with same day turnaround on results.
Innovation & Non Destructive Testing
Inspection and testing doesn't always have an easy solution, an off the shelf technology sometimes does not exist. Responsive can design, manufacture and prove concept.
