Mechanical Testing

In the mechanical testing laboratory, static and dynamic tests are performed at room temperature as well as at elevated temperatures. We not only provide test results, but also offer consultation on sampling upon request. Comparisons with standard values, result interpretations, and further technical consulting services are also available.
