Solvent degradation may lead to a significant loss of solvent performance (solvent losses, corrosion problems etc.) and also lead to a negative environmental impact (emissions to air, production of special waste). Solvent studies is essential in the work with developing...
...analyse and determine liquid metal composition of aluminium melts. The instrument uses high-energy laser pulse on the surface of the melt to generate a high temperature plasma that is analysed to reveal the melt composition. This online instrument gives the melt composition in real time and is excellent...

Typical tests involve fatigue testing, ultimate strength, and collapse testing under controlled conditions. Our experimental...
...equipment to expose sensors and electronics for rough external stress of various kinds. Equipment Climatic chambers With possibilities for in-situ logging of temperature, voltage, current and resistance. Climatic chamber: ACS Angelantoni SU250C Combined cycling of temperature and humidity Temperature cycling:...
...laboratories have the equipment and qualified personnel to perform a wide range of standard tests on concrete. We also have extensive experience in developing tailor-made test methods for unique solutions. Concrete is the most widely used building material globally, and SINTEF and NTNU have world-leading expertise...
...provides us unlimited access to current and historical weather data. There is a separate area for sheltered exposure, and a security company guards the premises. Testing facilities Long-term exposure of concrete and other materials in natural climates Moisture and heat measurements The laboratory is located...
Alpha Centauri is an outdoor laboratory for testing and characterizing PV modules in a Nordic climate. Here, we can test both monofacial and bifacial PV modules with advanced measurement equipment for irradiance. The Alpha Centauri Laboratory consists of eight bifacial PV modules mounted on four stands...
SINTEF's labs cover a large variety of fields in acoustics, including noise, hearing, building acoustics, underwater acoustics, and auralisation. Noise and hearing lab Our noise lab in Trondheim is equipped to reproduce various noises at typical levels. We have calibrated recordings of several noise...
...facility enables you, in collaboration with SINTEF, to develop new products and optimise your production technology for the processing of virtually any kind of raw material, including waste raw materials. Manufacture oil and protein hydrolysates from your own fresh raw materials. Optimise production...
...wind, and precipitation and an advanced system for measuring the amount of water flowing into the drains. The experimental field is a roof area with three test fields of 90 sqm each. The outer edges of the roof are insulated to provide complete control over how much water ends up on the roof and how much...
Certification is an association of manufacturers' and independent test laboratories and end user organisations set up according to the guidelines of NS-EN ISO/IEC 17065 (2012): Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services. The objective of SATS Certification...
...carried out according to three Nordtest methods (NT BUILD 058, 230, and 448). All methods simulate the stress that can occur on membranes in wet rooms. The membranes are exposed to water pressure with alternating hot and cold water and mechanical stress. Products that can be tested Coating membrane Sheet...
