Testing of materials and laboratory services

Testings- Sampling and modeling, field microscopy from X10 to X100,000 (from optical microscopy to scanning electron microscopy), characterization of materials (metallurgy and polymers) and their mechanical properties (fatigue, tensile, infection, difficulty), chemical identification, characterization Electrochemical and potentiodynamic, flammability tests.

Risk assessment - The laboratory provides risk assessment services following fire or water damage - determining the rate of damage to steel structures exposed to a fire environment or determining the potential damage to electronic / electrical / other products exposed to a wet or wet environment.

Risk assessments

Fire damage assessment for steel structures (replicas):

• Documentation of a building in a fire arena and locating pillars / pits / supports for examination
• A metallographic examination (not destroying) using the method of reprocessing on the accessory
• Difficulty testing
• Analyze the test results and determine the condition of the accessory

Evaluating potential water damage to various products (electronic / electrical / metallic)

• Comparison of a suspicious product exposed to a damp environment with a proper reference product
• Environmental testing of the suspect product and the normal product
• A microscopic evaluation of the acclimation results
• Analysis of results and determining the potential damage rate
