Materials
Materials are that count!
Many factors must be taken into account when design, construction and operating plants and technical facilities. In addition to planning and design, the characteristics of the materials used play a significant role. After all, materials are subject to mechanical, thermal and corrosive influences that may result in component failure.
Don't take any risk!
Have your materials, their processing characteristics and condition analyzed and evaluated for the application and operative range in question.
In this context, TÜV SÜD offers extensive methods for materials testing and analysis:
- Fracture mechanics analysis
- Plastics testing and analysis
- Experimental tests
- Failure analyses
- Welding tests
- Analyses of fibrous materials
- Water and corrosion-chemistry analyses, including power-station chemistry
- Mechanical-technological tests
- Metallographic investigations
- Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
Our laboratories are accredited as per DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2000 and as an inspectorate type A as per DIN EN ISO/IEC 17020.
Our equipment and measuring instruments are regularly checked for measuring accuracy.
