Experimental durability evaluation

Whether forces, pressures or thermal loads, static or dynamic, SPG tests your components under a wide range of stress situations in its accredited component testing laboratory. In this way, we satisfy high customer demands concerning safety and reliability with corresponding service life and stress analyses. Where component optimization is requested, we expand our range of services to include the appropriate consulting. In doing so, we take advantage of our extensive experience in the fields of energy and power plant engineering, pipeline, container and steel construction, as well as welding technology, rail and vehicle construction.

MODELING PIPELINES, VISUALIZING FLOWS

In our component testing laboratory, we model critical flow conditions of your pipelines. We use transparent Plexiglas models to visualize the flow and mixing processes, such as the formation of strands and vortices or the formation of stratifications. Tempered or colored water is used in these models. Various sensors record relevant data as input variables for further analyses and evaluations (e.g. FEM calculations). Thermocouples, conductivity probes, flow velocity probes or force transducers for dynamic level measurement are used for this purpose.
