Physical Properties Testing

Physical Material Properties are a general term for all material characteristics of matter, that may be observed and measured without changing the identity of this matter … This means they give us a clear and objective inside of the exact specifications of a material. Therefore, we can ask ourselves the question “What is the value for this specific material property, in this circumstance ?”. As a result of this, we can make smarter choices during the design phase of a product or solve material failure issues on existing parts.

Below, you find some physical properties we measure for you:

Melting Point
(Also: Freezing &
Crystallization Point)

Corrosion Resistance

Density

Dispersion

Porosity

Hardness

Thickness

Etc.

Thermal Properties Testing

Thermal Properties are a sub-group of the physical material properties. From the start of our activities, we have always focused on this domain of testing & analysis. Since this is our main expertise for many years, we’re able to answer questions as “How do the materials react on the change of temperature?” and also, “What are the consequences of these changes for our application, part and/or system?”

Below we give a material testing overview related to Thermal Properties e.g.:

Thermal Analysis (DSC, TGA, STA, TMA, Dilatometry, DMA, Calorimetry, Etc.)

CTE or Thermal Expansion

Thermal Conductivity

Heat Capacity (Cp)

Thermal Effusivity

Solar and Thermal Emittance (SRI)

Thermal Diffusivity

Stress-Relaxation Testing

Thermography

Process Safety Testing

Viscosity and/or Rheology

Stability Testing

Fire Resistance

VICAT

Etc.

Electrical Properties Testing

Electrical Properties Testing is the group of physical material properties testing, who answers questions related to the material interactions with electrical current. Since a lot of our customers are active in the electronic industry, this type of testing has become very important. For instance, the interaction of a material with (high-)voltages, frequencies, currents, etc.

You find some examples of our capabilities, below:

Electrical Conductivity & Resistivity

DEA – Dielectric Analysis

Breakdown Voltage Testing

Seebeck Coefficient Testing

Electrical Resistance Testing (Safety)

HIL Testing

Etc.

Mechanical Properties Testing

Mechanical Properties Testing is the group of testing solutions, where we study the behavior of the material under mechanical force. In other words, when we want to know how strong a material is. As an example, we rely on Mechanical Properties Testing to know how good a material resists to dynamic use, in its specific application.

Let us help you with testing e.g.:

Tensile & Compression

Stress-Relaxation

Fatigue

Texture

Abrasion

Plasticity

Stiffness

Wear

Failure Analysis

Fractography

Mechanical Stability

Etc.

Material Stability Testing

Material and/or Parts Stability Testing is a more complex series of testing solutions. In conclusion, they help you to prove the “usability” of your material for certain applications or to study the failure of material in a specific situation. Above all, these tests can give you a great inside in to the long-term behavior. Therefore, they are used to evaluate the quality of your end products.

Ask for a complete set of Material Failure Analysis e.g.:

Stability Testing in different fields as Thermal; Chemical-; Mechanical-; Electrical-; (Cyclic) Salt Spray Testing; Ozone-; Gas-; Light-; Weather-, Color, Climate & Environment Testing of Fibers, Polymer, Metals, and other materials

Performing tests to determine the PPE – Personal Protective Equipment &
Toys Safety Testing

HIL-Testing

(Cyclic) Polarization Testing

Etc.

Surface & Particle Analysis

To understand more complex problems of materials it’s sometimes good to look a bit deeper on the surface and/or particles. In other words, with Surface & Particle Analysis you can have an insight into the materials on (sub-)micrometer level. Moreover, with these tests and analysis, we help you to improve your material for specific applications or let you understand the “Bigger Why” behind a material problem.
