Test laboratory accredited for carrying out mechanical and vibration tests.

Sistema di gestione della qualità in conformità alla ISO/IEC 17025:2017 – UNI EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018.

The company is certified for quality management by a nationally and internationally recognized body.

Sistema di gestione della qualità in conformità alla ISO9001:2015.

P&P has highly qualified Level II and III operators, certified in accordance with UNI ISO 9712:2012 standards. This qualification enables its operators to perform analyses on metallic components, such as railway sleepers and fastenings, in compliance with the relevant regulations.

MAIN ACTIVITIES

The main testing activities are carried out in the high frequency (AF) and low frequency (BF) regime. These are accompanied by customized laboratory tests based on individual needs.

In turn, the tests are distinguished according to the methods of applying the stresses, their duration and the number of cycles to which the unit under test is subjected. Mainly, static / quasi-static tests are identified (traction, compression, characterization of static stiffness, at break, long life, conditioned, etc.), fatigue tests, dynamic tests (research of the vibratory response, characterization of dynamic stiffness, vibrations sine, random vibrations, shocks, pulses), seismic tests as well as impact tests, free fall and non-destructive tests on welds.

The proposal of the activities carried out is completed by the possibility of relying entirely on the skills of the Laboratory for the design and supply of fastening interfaces and FEM modeling.

PACKAGING AND TRANSPORT

The packaging systems and the units contained therein, whether they are of considerable size and mass or more contained as in the case of pharmaceutical products, during the distribution cycle may be subject to significant mechanical stresses, such as: stacking in warehouses, shocks caused by falls , vibrations and impulsive transport loads.

Therefore, the evaluation of the resistance to harsh environmental conditions due to climatic and / or chemical effects takes place by subjecting the units with and without packaging to vibration, shock, drop, compression and transport resistance tests.
