Materials testing
Materials testing is used to assure a component’s material has not degraded over time and that the material complies with the tolerance range set by the relevant production standards.
Applus+ is a global leader in materials testing services, and our network of material testing laboratories and technical centers deliver certification in line with relevant standards, confirming the material’s qualities, chemical analysis, and strength class. Our highly qualified personnel are experienced in steel production, refineries, hydropower, aeronautics, oil and gas, pipelines, and well equipment, as well construction materials testing.
