Since 25 years we are your partner in our operating segments laboratory and engineering office.
We offer measurements, endurance tests and calculations for your valves, fittings and pipe components. Our particular strengths are individual solutions, which are specifically developed for the requirements of our customers.
Our laboratory
Services of our laboratory:
Flow measurements
On our air and water benches we measure for your valve:
- Flow coefficient (KV-/CV-value)
- Friction factor (zeta-value)
- Pressure recovery factor (FL-value)
- Critical pressure drop ratio (xT -value)
- Sound pressure level (xfz -value)
- Functionality and performance of safety valves (Kd -value)
- Flow rate, pressure, temperature etc.
according to:
DIN EN 60534, ANSI/ISA S75.02, DIN EN ISO 4126, DIN EN 1267, VDI/VDE 2173
Fire safe tests
With our fire test benches, which can be flexibly adapted to your requirements, we test your fittings, valves, seals, expansion joints, hoses and much more for fire safety.
- Fire type tests
- Fire resistance tests
- Flame resistance tests
according to:
DIN EN ISO 10497, API 607, API 6FA, API 16D, DIN EN ISO 15540, ISO 19921, DIN 86230, DIN 73379-3, EN 13483, DIN EN ISO 7840, BS 5041, EN 12115, DIN EN 1761
Strength and tightness tests
On our strength and tightness benches we test your fittings, valves and pipe components with regard to:
- Strength/tightness up to 1500 bar for liquids
- Strength/tightness up to 200 bar for gases
- Strength/tightness up to 10 mbar(abs.) for vacuum
- Burst pressure for incompressible media
according to:
DIN EN 12266, DIN EN 13483
Endurance tests
In our endurance test benches we stress your valves to the limit. In this process, your component can be tested with different types of stress:
- Different flow rate up to cavitation
- Abrasion (for example with silica sand)
- Operating of your valves
- Pressure or pressure pulses with adjustable amplitudes and frequencies
- Temperature due to flow or surroundings
- Vibration on pipe compensators
according to:
DIN 1074-2, HTP 20007
Material tests
On our test benches we evaluate the compatibility of nonmetallic materials for oxygen service.
- Autogenous ignition temperature (AIT) in high pressure oxygen
- Testing of materials for ignition sensitivity to gaseous oxygen impacts
- Testing of materials for aging resistance
according to:
DIN EN ISO 11114-3, EN 1797, ISO 21010, ASTM G 114-14
Other tests
Your individual requirements are as versatile as we are.
- A overview about our other test services:
- Torque measurements
- Measurements/endurance tests with your test benches or (partial) test benches on valves/pipe components
- Experiments for the Joukowsky-impact
- u.v.m
Do not hesitate to contact us. Together we try to implement your individual testing requirements.
