Destructive testing by the specialists of Materials Testing Veendam
The best way to determine the behavior of metal under varying conditions is to subject it to different types of loading. As an independent testing laboratory for destructive testing of metal and welds, we carry out a wide range of tests. Materials Testing Veendam helps you with materials testing. We are experts in destructive testing of metal and welds. We perform many mechanical tests, such as tensile tests, bending tests, notch-impact tests and hardness tests. In addition, we also perform various corrosion tests.. For this purpose, our testing laboratory is equipped with a variety of high-tech computer-controlled test machines. We perform these tests in accordance with commonly used standards. It is also possible to have tests conducted according to customer-specific standards.
Why is destructive testing important?
By exposing materials to different conditions, we learn a lot about the properties of the material. When the material is used for industrial applications, the client can take these various conditions into account. This increases safety, reduces downtime, and thereby lowers costs.
In order to determine the behavior of metal under varying conditions, we subject it during testing to different kinds of loading.
Destructive testing on metal
We perform the following destructive tests on metal:
Product testing, testing of products and components for strength
Destructive testing is an umbrella term for various tests, to guarantee the quality of different materials. In destructive testing, parts of the material are subjected to a selection of tests to determine whether they meet predetermined quality requirements.
We regularly carry out product tests in our test laboratory. Ready-made products or products in the development phase—particularly construction materials and metal components such as brackets, chains, and couplings—are tested by means of tensile tests for strength. Learn more about product testing.
Upgrading of materials, retesting of materials
The regulations require that materials be upgraded regularly. In doing so, we retest the respective metals to determine whether the material conforms to the specifications described in the issued 3.1 certificate. For this, we use tensile tests, notched impact tests, and chemical analysis. All of this is carried out under the supervision of Notified Bodies such as Bureau Veritas, Lloyd's Register and DNV.
