Rigorous Testing Services
Without appropriate testing, even the best prototypes are unproven. All equipment that we design goes through a rigorous testing process. Even before a prototype is assembled, we carry out a range of material tests on its components – often in close collaboration with the Kiel University of Applied Sciences. Depending on intended use, we expose assembled prototypes to their maximum operational loads without damaging them. In some cases, we deliberately load prototypes to destruction in order to check the calculated safety factor and limits. Testing of prototypes takes place in open water and/or in our own pressure tank (maximum depth 6000 metres).
