Weld evaluation, welding procedure tests and welder qualification tests

PT1+2-stufe2-titelbild

Testing expertise for materials and components

Would you like to test the quality and properties of welds? Do you need support with the analysis of welding processes and welding procedure tests? Or are you looking for a partner to regularly assess individual welders’ skills?

The experts at our accredited testing laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025) support you with mechanical and technological and non-destructive testing of welds, among other services.

Our weld evaluation services:

  • welding procedure tests
  • Mechanical and technological testing and hardness profiles
  • Metallographic analyses of the weld zone, heat-affected zones and parent materials
  • Analyses of the chemical composition of welded materials
  • Non-destructive testing of welded structures

In industrial weld evaluation, conventional radiographic testing (RT) has been the reference method for decades, particularly for detecting volumetric defects. In a feasibility study, we demonstrated how imaging methods such as phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) could replace RT in this application.
