We offer

Calculations

We provide calculations of the pressure equipment that are defected or in emergency condition due to short or long-term abnormal operation, environmental impact or due to design, structure, or technology defect. We solve defects of structures damaged by corrosion, corrosion cracking, fatigue, creep, abnormal deformations, abnormal settlement of subsoil and construction caused by defects of welding and fundamental material. At customer request we also add proposals for design and technology solutions required to keep the structures in operation.

Experimental measurements

Our laboratory provides experimental measurements at the customer’s to verify operational data (temperature, pressure, flow) and their impact on construction stress. We also provide static and cyclic tests of testing machines. In cooperation with the Computer Department we develop test procedures, equipment and preparations including their modifications or production. Our laboratory also provides verifications of computational models. There is the Accredited Test Laboratory 1228 as a part of our laboratory.

We offer

  • Strain gauge measurement
  • Temperature measurement
  • Vibration measurement
  • Fatigue tests
  • Pressure measurement
  • Light engineering production and modifications
  • Design and develop equipment and devices for testing

Research and development of testing

In cooperation with the Computer Department of IAM we can design, develop, and produce test equipment and preparations within diverse requirements of our customers. These are mainly special clamping jigs to test on supplied samples. And there are also development and tune-up of testing procedures (i.e. measuring leakage rate of sealing joints).
