  Fluid susceptibility tests
  For several years, the ANALYSIS ET SURFACE laboratory has been carrying out fluid susceptibility tests according to EUROCAE ED-14G RTCA DO-160 Section 11 (Fluids Susceptibility) or other standards in different sectors of activity (Example: NF ISO 28121, standard VOLVO 1026.8177 or Renault Nissan RNES-B-00090 v2.0 D49 3253
  Our resources allow us to take charge of large resistance of coatings to fluids with our immersion and spray possibilities. The behavior of (...)

  Shore hardness test
  SHORE hardness measurements consist in evaluating the resistance of thermoplastics and elastomers to the penetration of an indenter applied to the surface.
  ISO 868 and ISO 7619 Standards Cross hatch cutters
  Cross hatch cutters are used to test the adhesion of a coating on a support. The surface of the coating is cross-hatched and the adhesion is measured in relation to the lamination a standard adhesive.
  ISO 2409 Standard Sclerometer
  The sclerometer is used to (...)

  CHARACTERIZATION OF COATING STRENGTH: The characterization of surface coatings
  The Analyses & Surface CRT is equipped with standardized hardware and has developed the skills to meet the increasingly stringent technical and regulatory requirements (higher temperatures, more aggressive environments, vibration, high stress, high pressures, REACH recommendations or standards, etc.). These parameters require evaluation and the qualification of coatings and their refractory life according to (...)

• Photoaging tests

  -AGING RESISTANCE TEST: Assessing the resistance of materials to the solar spectrum (Xenon) and UV rays.
  Photoaging tests (solar spectrum or UV) are designed to simulate accelerated aging due to solar radiation and climate.
  This laboratory test enables manufacturers to decide on the choice of materials according to the environmental conditions of the target markets.
  The type of chambers used manage the materials’ exposure to radiation, control the temperature and humidity and a water (...)

• CYCLED SALT SPRAY TEST
  11 December 2020, by Marion

  Tests and study of corrosion phenomena
  The ANALYZES AND SURFACE laboratory has within the 6NAPSE Group a cycled chamber with neutral salt spray that can meet many standards and CDC.
  The resistance of materials or finished parts to the life cycle is an important criterion in the validation of a design. The choice of metallic materials, treatments or paints is essential in the lifespan of a product and that for many sectors of activity.
  Oxidation phenomena or appearance defects are (...)

• Salt spray tests
  17 June 2015, by Administrateur

  ANALYSES ET SURFACE has COFRAC testing accreditation (accreditation n°1-1720 - scope available on www.cofrac.fr for the performance of neutral salt spray tests (NSS) according to NF EN ISO 9227 and EN ISO 60068-2-11.
  The durability of a material or a product has always been a central concern of buyers worldwide. Metallic materials have many mechanical advantages which cannot be replaced in many sectors. The main drawback is their sensitivity to oxidation in a corrosive atmosphere which (...)

• Thermal shock / cycle tests
  17 June 2015, by Administrateur

  THERMAL SHOCK OR CYCLE TESTING: Assessing the resistance of materials to climate change.
  Temperature and humidity have an effect on the service life of a material or a product. The choice of suitable materials is paramount, and depends on the environmental conditions in which your products are to be used.
  Conducting cycle or thermal shock tests allows us to qualify or control the change in parts under conditions tailored to your specifications or according to existing standards.
  At the (...)

• Mechanical characterization
  17 June 2015, by Administrateur

  MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION: Microstructure, hardness of materials, abrasion resistance, etc.
  Mechanx²ical tests are used to determine the behavior of materials and identify their mechanical characteristics. These characterizations are used to ensure that the structure of the material will be tailored to the use of the final part and thus overcome any possible defects or breakages in operation.
  The laboratory’s equipment allows us to determine the following characteristics:
  • Determination (...)
