CERTIFIED
INSPECTION

Our laboratory also offers our customers tests as a service:

  • Tensile tests:
    We conduct tensile tests with 6% or 8% elongation at 22 °C +/- 2 °C (to ASTM F2516) or at 37 °C +/- 2 °C (body temperature).
  • DSC analysis:
    This analysis is one way of measuring the transformation temperature of Nitinol. The thermo-analytical method is carried out according to ASTM F2004. The results will be displayed in a characteristic curve.
  • Hydrogen tests:
    The tests are executed in our laboratory according to ASTM E1447. This value is critical to fatigue-life performance.
