Polymers testing and analysis

To support you in your product development, market introduction, arbitration, trouble-shooting, damage analyses and corrosion problem solving, Kiwa offers you a wide scope of material expertise. This is supported by a vast amount of testing and analysis services in our own laboratories. We can help you out with both pipeline systems and components for gas distribution and products from many other industries.

Our services

Kiwa has a wide range of tests and analysis in the field of polymer. Check out what we have to offer below.

  • Assessment of sleeve connections for heat energy distribution networks

    The quality of (city) heating networks depends to a significant extent on the quality of the connections in the pipelines. Leaks that allow water ingress, which often occur in sleeve connections, can lead to degradation of the insulation with all the resulting effects on thermal insulation performance

  • Cathodic Protection

    Cathodic protection (CB) is the ideal method for guarding pipelines and storage tanks against corrosion. However, the application of CB requires specialist knowledge, especially in extraordinary situations or when repairing breakdowns.

  • Analysis of damage for heat energy distribution networks

    Damage that occurs in a heat energy distribution network can soon lead to substantial costs. These costs are not only associated with repairing the network but also with indirect damage suffered by users who are unable to draw off the heat energy they require.
