Mechanical, Thermal and Cryogenic Testing Services

We offer a wide range of testing solutions for materials, components, and systems under various environmental conditions – from high temperatures to extreme cold. With our advanced infrastructure and extensive expertise, we support you in preparing test samples, selecting suitable sensors, and analysing results.
Below you will find an overview of the tests we regularly perform. If you have specific requirements, we are happy to develop test setups tailored to your project.

      Our Facilities

      Laboratory

      In our laboratory we perform tests on material samples, components and assemblies with our shock-setup, universal testing machine or in our climate and vacuum chambers.

      Environmental Conditions

      With our infrastructure of climate and vacuum chambers and the possibility of cooling with liquefied nitrogen and helium, we specialise in tests at cryogenic temperatures down to -269°C (4K). Tests at room temperature or at temperatures of up to 500°C are also possible.

      Test as a Service

      We are happy to support you in the manufacturing of test samples as well as the selection and application of the required sensors. Thanks to our in-house manufacturing, we are able to react quickly to unforeseen events and can even make adjustments on the day of testing.

      Data Acquisition

      Depending on the requirements, we select suitable sensors and equipment to get the best out of every test. With our knowledge of data acquisition and interpretation, we can verify and analyse the results.
