Testing services
The Lab has all the equipment required for static and cyclic tensile tests on steel elements for pre-stressed concrete (wires and strands) and for the testing of ropes up to a maximum load of 3000 kN. The department is also able to provide testing and consultancy services for research into innovative materials for production of ropes and pre-stressed structural elements.
Inspection and certification services
– testing and certification of conformity of steel wire ropes for transport services according to DM 1175 of 21.6.86;
– testing and certification of conformity of steel wire ropes for transport services according to the reference UNI standards (unified ropes);
– testing and certification of mechanical properties of steel wire ropes according to national or international standards;
– testing and certification of the mechanical properties of wires and strands for pre-stressed system according to national or international standards (ETAG013).
