Our test services for the maritime industry
- Corrosion resistance tests: Given the constant exposure to salt water and other corrosive elements, we test the corrosion resistance of metals and coatings. Our tests help determine how well materials are resistant to erosion in a maritime environment.
- Sustainability- and Impact tests: Our impact tests evaluate the resistance of materials to shocks and vibrations, which are common in marine applications. This is critical to the safety and efficiency of operations at sea.
- Hydrostatic pressure tests: We pressure test the performance of connections and components to ensure they meet standards for safety and functionality in deep-sea environments.
- Material structure analyses: With techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) we provide in-depth analyses of the material composition and look for possible defects that may affect performance.
Why testing is important in the maritime industry
Testing materials within the maritime industry is essential for:
- Safety: Material breakage can lead to serious accidents and financial losses.
- Reliability: Reliable materials ensure continuous operational effectiveness of ships and offshore structures.
- Sustainability: The use of sustainable materials extends the life of infrastructure and reduces maintenance costs.
