Measuring and Testing

Materials Testing

The chemical and physical laboratories at PTS are equipped with conventional and innovative equipment for testing and analysing paper materials, semi-finished and finished products. The samples are subjected to comprehensive testing and subsequent evaluation by a skilled staff with long years of experience in this sector. PTS not only provides reliable measured values. Upon request, customers also receive solutions for operational troubleshooting.

Material-Mechanical Characterization

Methods from the fields of applied, experimental and continuum mechanics play a key role in the engineering process of new products. PTS investigates and develops new material-mechanical characterization methods for applications in the field of lightweight construction. For this purpose, we use both classic constitutive laws and our own developments in combination with suitable test equipment. The results of numerical product or product component simulations are used to derive further design layout variations.

Solutions with Analytics

With more than 60 years of experience, PTS has gained an excellent reputation as a provider of physical and chemical testing services for paper, fibres and packaging. In many cases, conventional measuring methods work well. But often it takes more than this: complex issues may demand comprehensive solutions and wide-ranging concepts, or make it necessary to explore the various paths of interpretation offered by measurements. In such cases, a lot of creativity is needed to find and apply the most suitable analytical method. Our internal and external networks of excellent specialists enable us to complete even the most challenging tasks. The PTS department of analytical services acts as one-point contact and co-ordinator for customer projects in the field of analytics.
