LISEGA SE – LIMALAB, the new material testing laboratory
Since November 2016 the testing laboratory at LISEGA SE in Zeven has been in operation. LISEGA is thereby in a position to carry out various mechanical material tests independently in-house. Among the more important operations are the tension test, the notch impact test, the hardness test and spectrum analysis. By conducting these tests the different characteristics of the materials can be determined and thus their quality and conformity to norms. In future, working steps such as the upgrading of ASME materials, testing during production or on incoming goods can be carried out much more comprehensively and intensively. With the integration of metallographic material testing, further trials, especially in damage analysis, can be conducted. At present, concentrated attention is being paid to accreditation of the testing laboratory according to DIN EN ISO 17025. After accreditation it should also be possible to offer testing opportunities to external customers.
