Science-driven corrosion monitoring since 2016
Corrosion Prognostics was founded with a simple mission: give asset owners the tools to understand and predict corrosion — not just react to it.
Built on decades of corrosion science
Corrosion Prognostics, LLC was established in 2016 by Dr. Antony Trueman to offer specialist corrosion sensor systems to asset owners, asset stakeholders, asset maintenance contractors, and asset maintenance consultants.
Dr. Trueman’s background in corrosion electrochemistry, atmospheric science, and materials engineering forms the scientific foundation of everything Corrosion Prognostics delivers. The company’s approach is grounded in first principles: every model, every sensor design, and every software tool is built from the underlying physics and chemistry of corrosion — not empirical curve-fitting or industry rules of thumb.
One of our key differentiators is the supply of robust and validated corrosion prediction models alongside the sensors and logging instrumentation. This synergistic coupling minimises the user’s efforts to achieve optimised corrosion management at the lowest possible life-cycle cost.
Another point of difference is simplicity: sensor design is built on fundamental scientific principles, and considerable thought has been given to user-friendly logging instrumentation and software. The result is a system that delivers research-grade accuracy with operational simplicity.
The initial commercial offering, the Atmospheric Corrosion Sensor System, has been validated at six sites across the United States and internationally. Model predictions for steel weight loss and aluminium pit depths have been benchmarked against independent coupon measurements at each site, demonstrating reliable predictive accuracy across highly varied climatic and pollutant environments — from the arid conditions of Phoenix, Arizona, to the marine environment of Key West, Florida, and the humid tropics of Hawaii.
How we approach corrosion prediction
Science-first
Every model and sensor design is grounded in the fundamental electrochemistry and physics of atmospheric corrosion — no empirical guesswork.
Validation before commercialisation
No product leaves the lab without rigorous comparison against real-world exposure data at multiple sites across diverse environments.
User-centred design
Simple sensor designs and intuitive software mean asset managers get the answers they need without requiring specialist corrosion expertise.
Presented at AMPP Annual, Denver 2023
Dr. Trueman first introduced the Corrosion Prognostics atmospheric prediction system at the AMPP Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado (March 19–23, 2023), the flagship gathering of the Association for Materials Protection and Performance. The peer-reviewed paper detailed the mechanistic foundation of the model, the design of the Corrosion and Environmental Monitoring System (CEMS), and the architecture of the Atmospheric Corrosion Modelling software (ACM).
The system was designed to predict atmospheric corrosion for general and localized corrosion of steels and aluminum alloys — and is readily extensible to other materials and corrosion modes. Published as Paper No. C2023-18962, this work remains the foundational reference for the methodology behind every Corrosion Prognostics deployment.
Presented at AMPP Gulf Coast, Houston 2024
Dr. Trueman presented the Corrosion Prognostics prediction system at the AMPP Gulf Coast Conference in Houston, Texas (August 5–7, 2024), demonstrating the system’s validation results across six US and international sites and outlining its applicability to condition-based maintenance, pre-design location assessment, and life-cycle cost optimisation.
AMPP estimated the global cost of corrosion at 3.4% of world GDP — approximately $2.5 trillion annually. Accurate corrosion prediction tools represent one of the most impactful levers available for reducing this burden. That is what Corrosion Prognostics was built to provide.
