Accredited Materials Testing Laboratory for Industry, Commerce, and Research
With a focus on quality and safety!
To ensure the product quality and functional safety of your products, we conduct materials science tests on original components and material samples on your behalf. These tests are performed reliably and confidentially in our accredited testing laboratory for materials and components, in strict compliance with standardized test procedures and technical regulations.
Accreditation in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025
We practice modern quality management in our laboratory and always base our activities on state-of-the-art technology. One of the ways we have demonstrated our expertise in materials testing is through accreditation under DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, granted by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS GmbH).
Our accredited range of services includes the following standard material analyses and tests on metals and non-ferrous metals:
Our Testing Services
- Tensile, Compression, and Bending Tests
- Hot tensile tests up to 400 °C
- Tensile tests in the direction of sheet thickness (Z-grade)
- Notched bending tests down to -196 °C in accordance with DIN EN ISO 148-1
- Hardness Tests According to Vickers, Brinell, and Rockwell
- Microhardness testing from HV0.3 to HV1 (determination of nitriding hardening depth, case hardening depth, etc.)
- Metallographic Microstructural Analyses
- Material Re-certifications
Conducting the listed tests and examinations naturally includes the corresponding sample collection and sample preparation. Our own, very well-equipped sample preparation workshop enables us to prepare even special samples (e.g., for damage investigations) quickly and easily. We have the necessary lifting equipment and means of transport, allowing us to take samples from larger components or test specimens as well.
In addition, we offer the following services*:
- Assessment of Claims
- Preparation of work and process audits
- Consulting on Materials and Welding Techniques
- Weld evaluation and measurement, including hardness testing
- Weld-Bending Tests in Accordance with SEP1390
- Coating Thickness Measurement
- Particle Size Analysis
- Collaboration According to DBS (HPQ)
- Alloy Testing Using Optical Emission Spectroscopy
*these examinations are not part of the accreditation
We are generally very flexible when it comes to scheduling and can accommodate our customers’ requests
