Structural Tests

Structural Tests

EUROLAB, implements comprehensive structural verification plans for components and sub-components made of metallic and composite materials for all industries within the scope of structural testing. It specializes in uniaxial and multi-axial high load testing in static and dynamic conditions (up to 15 MN).

It works globally in testing aviation components and structures, including large carbon fiber panels, engine parts and other critical aircraft components.

Our Areas Expertise

Our unique facilities enable us to verify the structural integrity of major components and subcomponents for a range of industries where we are well qualified and have expert technical know-how.

Aviation and Space

EUROLAB, is an approved strategic provider of structural mechanical testing for major aerospace manufacturers. We are the “preferred supplier” of structural testing for Airbus (ST2S) and Rolls Royce and work closely with other manufacturers such as Aernnova, Aciturri and Safran. Our structural testing laboratory supports the aerospace industry's stringent quality criteria, certified under the ISO 9100 standard.

We have a network of NADCAP approved materials laboratories to perform metallic materials, non-metallic materials, and non-destructive testing. The combined capacities of our labs mean we can test everything from coupons to large aviation components.

Energy, Renewable, Oil and Gas

EUROLABis regulated by DNV-GL (formerly Germanischer Lloyd) for structural testing of wind turbine components and our large-scale facilities enable us to carry out testing over a wide area. We work with renewable energy sources such as wind or solar energy, as well as test components used in the extraction and distribution of hydrocarbons or gas.

That's why we have facilities that can accommodate large structures, apply loads at various points along those structures, and get the answers we seek based on a wide variety of measuring devices.

Automotive

In the automotive industry, EUROLAB Its laboratories offer static and dynamic mechanical testing services for automotive components. In this context, we test the following components and structures:

  • Structures and infrastructures made of metallic materials, composites and hybrids.
  • Welds and adhesive bonds
  • Elastomeric components

Rail and Marine

In the maritime industry, we test the infrastructures of both surface ships and submarines. In the railway sector, EUROLAB structural testing laboratories have deep experience in testing a variety of rail structures, from infrastructure to rolling stock.

Construction and Civil Infrastructure

EUROLABhas been partnering with the construction industry for many years, bringing together the equipment, accredited laboratories and technical experts necessary to perform mechanical verification of enclosures, construction materials, structural systems, structural bearings and waste channels and grates. Additionally, our laboratories have been inspected by EOTA approved organizations for structural testing of reactive bridge components.

EUROLAB, with its highly expert team and internationally accredited laboratories, Structural Tests It performs all test, analysis, measurement, evaluation and report generation services completely and reliably.
