SEAGUARD INTERNATIONAL Digital Corrosion Test Meter

SEAGUARD INTERNATIONAL Professional Digital Corrosion Test Meter

The marine industry’s first defense against hidden corrosion damage, featuring instant color-coded results and professional-grade accuracy with its patented Ag/AgCl reference cell.

  • Silver Chloride reference cell for laboratory-grade precision
  • Color Test Result for instant interpretation
  • Stores 30 test results for comparative analysis
  • 16-foot marine-grade testing cable

The $8,000 Wake-Up Call

Marine surveyor James T. recalls the case that changed his diagnostic approach forever: “A client’s 42-foot yacht passed visual inspection with flying colors. Three months later, we hauled her out to find 60% hull plate thinning—$8,200 in structural repairs from corrosion we could have caught months earlier.”

This scenario plays out daily across marinas worldwide. The universal marine dilemma? Corrosion damage becomes visible only after electrochemical processes have already compromised structural integrity. Traditional solutions—from zinc anode replacements to sacrificial coatings—address symptoms rather than providing diagnostic visibility.

The hidden cost? The average mid-size vessel owner incurs $2,300 in preventable corrosion damage every 18 months according to Marine Surveyors Association data.

From Panic to Prevention: A Boat Owner’s Transformation

1. The Discovery

“Noticed blistering paint near the stern drive last season. By haul-out, we found pitting that required $1,400 in repairs.” — Mark R., Catalina 30 owner

2. The Research

“Marine surveyor explained how early potential measurements could have caught the issue when repairs would’ve cost $200.”

3. The Solution

“Now I test monthly. The color codes make it foolproof—green means I’m safe, yellow triggers anode checks, red means immediate action.”

The SEAGUARD Advantage

Unlike complex marine corrosion testers requiring interpretation of raw mV readings, SEAGUARD INTERNATIONAL’s patented color-coding system:

  • Green Zone (-800mV to -1100mV): Optimal protection
  • Yellow Zone (-600mV to -800mV): Monitor closely
  • Red Zone (Above -600mV): Immediate intervention needed

Why Professional Mariners Choose SEAGUARD

For Boat Owners:

  • Catch galvanic corrosion before visible damage
  • Optimize zinc anode replacement schedules
  • Document protection levels for marine surveys

For Marine Technicians:

  • Diagnose stray current corrosion sources
  • Verify cathodic protection system performance
  • Generate corrosion reports for clients

Marine Corrosion Testing FAQs

How often should I test my hull’s potential?

Professional recommendations vary by water conditions:

  • Saltwater: Monthly during boating season
  • Brackish: Every 2 months
  • Freshwater: Quarterly

More frequent testing when docked near other vessels or with new electrical installations.

Can this detect stray current corrosion?

Yes. Unlike basic marine voltmeters, SEAGUARD’s high-impedance design accurately measures potentials without current flow interference. Fl
