Stress Analysis and Vibration Technology

Why measurement analyses?

Both the design engineer and the operating engineer are often faced with the question of what in the plant has an effect on component parts, machinery and installations. With the aid of measurements we can answer these questions.

Stress Analysis
Measuring and evaluation of loads and stresses during operation - realistically. We diagnose, analyse and advise as experts. Our speciality: high-temperatures strain measuring technology up to 600°C.

Vibration technology and shock protection
Vibrations may cause operational problems or cause damage. We measure and evaluate vibrations and shocks and help, if necessary, with remedial measures.

Creep strain measurements
The stress-to-rupture behaviour concerns component structures >450°C and results in a finite life span. Special sensors are used to measure the actual creep. In conjunction with structure replica technology it is possible to take advantage of the residual life considerably longer.

Potential probe measuring technology
The detection of a fault in a component structure (e.g. a crack) does not always signify the "end of the road". The potential probe measuring technology for fault monitoring is a good method for increasing safety when continuing to use a faulty component.

Long-term measurement of pipelines
Subsidence in mining areas as well as tunnelling or civil engineering work put additional stresses on pipelines. Strain measuring technology and regular readings mean immediate recording of these additional stresses.

Basic monitoring of pipelines
Using simple means but a systematic procedure, we monitor pipelines in power stations. This allows faults to be detected early - as a preventive measure - and damage to be avoided.
