On December 20, Hubei Province-based Chinese steelmaker Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Corp. (WISCO) announced that it has completed eight tests for hydrogen sulfide-resistance on its X65MS steel for making tube and pipe, marking the commissioning of its new laboratory for hydrogen sulfide-resistance testing.

WISCO already had the ability to test steel for resistance to acidic environments, while with the new laboratory it now also has the ability to carry out tests for hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress corrosion cracking (SSCC). The new laboratory will provide support for WISCO's development of steel used in pressure vessels, pipes and tubes in corrosive environments. The laboratory will in the future become an independent lab, providing third-party quality tests for other companies.
