Features
Copper and Silver Corrosion Testing
- How It Works in Practice: VeroCor employs an advanced dual-zone aluminum dry-block system that allows laboratories to test copper (ASTM D130) and silver (ASTM D7667) corrosion simultaneously. Each zone operates independently with its own controller, enabling parallel experiments under different conditions. This not only speeds up workflows but also ensures repeatable accuracy across a variety of fuel and lubricant samples.
- Step-by-Step Testing Demonstration: The video walks you through the complete process — from preparing and polishing test strips, to inserting them into sample tubes, and immersing them in the VeroCor bath. With rapid heat-up to 150 °C in just 2–3 minutes and highly stable temperature control, the system guarantees that every test follows strict international protocols without time lost to warm-up delays.
- Applications Across Industries: See how VeroCor is used in real-world environments including petroleum refineries, aviation fuel laboratories, lubricant manufacturers, and independent certification bodies. By providing consistent and reliable data, VeroCor helps industries reduce risk, ensure compliance, and maintain the highest product quality standards before fuels and oils reach the market.
- Performance That Makes a Difference: Unlike traditional oil baths, VeroCor's oil-free design eliminates messy handling, frequent maintenance, and the risk of contamination. This results in cleaner testing conditions, lower operational costs, and more sustainable lab practices. Over time, laboratories save both time and resources while gaining confidence in the accuracy of their corrosion analysis.
Operational Efficiency and System Control
- Independent Dual-Zone Operation: VeroCor features two groups of three sample positions, each with its own controller. This setup enables laboratories to run parallel tests under different conditions, saving time while ensuring precise and reliable outcomes.
- Flexible Sample Handling: The system accommodates multiple test inserts, allowing compatibility with various standards and sample types. Whether analyzing fuels, oils, or aviation products, VeroCor provides unmatched versatility.
- International Standards Compliance: Fully aligned with ASTM D130 (Copper Corrosion) and ASTM D7667 (Silver Corrosion), as well as related ISO and IP protocols, VeroCor guarantees that results are recognized and trusted worldwide.
- Low-Maintenance Design: With its dry-block aluminum heating system, VeroCor eliminates oil handling, odor, and contamination risks. This reduces maintenance needs, lowers operational costs, and ensures stable, reproducible conditions for every test.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does VeroCor improve laboratory efficiency compared to traditional systems?
Our copper corrosion bath uses a dry-block aluminum heating system instead of conventional oil baths. This eliminates oil handling, reduces contamination risks, and significantly lowers maintenance requirements. With rapid heat-up to 150°C in just 2–3 minutes, laboratories can start testing faster and maintain a more efficient workflow.
How does your copper corrosion analyzer bath ensure accurate and repeatable results?
We designed the VeroCor copper corrosion analyzer with precise digital temperature control and independent dual-zone operation. Each zone maintains stable conditions throughout the test, ensuring consistent exposure for every sample. This level of control is critical for reliable copper strip corrosion classification under ASTM D130 and similar standards.
What advantages does dual-zone operation provide in corrosion testing?
The VeroCor allows two independent groups of sample positions to run simultaneously under different temperature conditions. This means laboratories can perform parallel testing for different products or standards within a single cycle, improving throughput without compromising accuracy.
Which types of petroleum products can be tested with your copper corrosion bath?
The VeroCor copper corrosion analyzer supports corrosion testing for a wide range of products, including fuels, lubricants, and aviation turbine fuels. These tests help evaluate material compatibility and detect corrosive sulfur compounds that may impact equipment performance and longevity.
How does VeroCor support compliance with industry standards?
The VeroCor is fully aligned with ASTM D130 for copper corrosion and ASTM D7667 for silver corrosion testing. By maintaining stable and controlled test conditions, our equipment ensures that results are consistent, reproducible, and accepted across laboratories and regulatory environments.
How does the VeroCor copper corrosion analyzer reduce maintenance and operational costs?
By eliminating oil baths and using a dry-block system, the VeroCor minimizes cleaning, reduces consumables, and avoids issues related to oil degradation or contamination. This results in lower operating costs, less downtime, and a cleaner, safer laboratory environment.
What makes VeroCor a reliable copper corrosion analyzer for petroleum laboratories?
VeroCor is a dual-zone copper corrosion analyzer built for petroleum testing labs that need fast, repeatable results. Its aluminum dry-block design heats to 150 °C in just 2–3 minutes and runs two independent test groups in parallel, eliminating the mess and inconsistency of traditional oil baths while staying fully aligned with ASTM D130 and D7667 requirements.
