Our offshore containers and baskets could be made to undergo the under listed tests as contained in the Guidelines for the Approval of Offshore Containers released by the International Maritime Organization in May, 1998.
1. 4-Point Lifting Test: In this case, the internal load a uniformly distributed load such that the total mass of the container and test load is equal to 2.5R, where R is the maximum allowable combined mass of the container and its cargo. Here the container is lifted with slings attached to each of its four pad eyes positioned at an angle to the vertical which must be equal to the design angle.
2. 2-Point Lifting Test: Here, the internal load is such that the total mass of the container and the test load is equal to 1.5R. The container (Fitted with four pad eyes) with the load is lifted with slings fitted to two of the four pad eyes. The selected two pad eyes must be diagonal to each other.
3. Vertical Impact Test: The internal load here is such that the total mass of the container and the test load is equal to R. The container is suspended at an inclined angle with the lowest corner being at least 50mm above a rigid floor. The container is quickly released to hit the rigid floor. On the initial impact, it should have a speed of at least 1 m/s.

2.10 Corrosion Control Services: Our partnership with ERGIL Group (ERGIL Corrosion Control Systems) permits JOULES enough room to offer her clients more diverse and very specific services in this area. Our Cathodic Protection Technique deploys the use of Galvanic or Sacrificial Anodes made in various shapes using alloys of Magnesium, Zinc and Aluminum. The electrochemical potential of these alloys in a CPS (Cathodic Protection System) is more than that of Iron. However for larger structures, Galvanic Anodes cannot economically deliver enough current to provide complete protection thus a cathodic protection rectifier (An Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) is used to solve this problem.
