  • Mechanical properties – tensile, creep, fatigue, hardness, quality bending and abrasion tests
  • Measure density using Archimedes method


Corrosion and failure study:

  • Laboratory immersion tests
  • Accelerated corrosion test in salt cell
  • Humidity chamber
  • Exposure test (including preparation of dedicated specimens)
  • Electrochemical testing as a preliminary / supplementary experiment for a laboratory exposure experiment
  • Corrosion surveys in the field for early detection of failure points
  • Conducting cathodic defense research
  • Corrosion inhibitors
  • Conducting failure investigations and analyzes for polymer structure materials
  • Expertise to write a summary report and recommendations


NDT tests (non-destructive tests):

  • Radiographic tests (stationary)
  • Thermal camera
