NACE Coating Inspections – Ensuring Long-Term Protection and Compliance

High-Quality Inspections for Corrosion Prevention & Asset Longevity

NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) Coating Inspections are essential for ensuring that protective coatings applied to metal surfaces are properly applied and remain effective over time. These inspections play a critical role in preventing corrosion and material degradation in assets exposed to harsh environments, such as mining equipment, pipelines, storage tanks, and offshore structures.

What Is a NACE Coating Inspection?

A NACE Coating Inspection involves evaluating the condition and effectiveness of coatings that protect metals from corrosive environments. Our certified NACE inspectors assess whether the coating has been applied correctly and if it is performing as intended to provide the necessary level of corrosion resistance.


  • Surface Preparation: Ensuring proper preparation and cleaning of the surface before coating application.
  • Coating Thickness Measurement: Using techniques like ultrasonic or magnetic gauges to measure coating thickness to ensure it meets specifications.
  • Coating Adhesion Testing: Verifying the adhesion strength of coatings to ensure they will not fail prematurely.
  • Visual Inspection: Identifying visible defects such as bubbles, cracks, and poor coverage that could compromise protection.
