As pressure vessels are high-risk equipment, all the materials used must comply with standards and be tested more rigorously than other materials. To this end, Eralp can carry out mechanical tests on the materials to be used and the equipment we manufacture in our existing quality laboratory.
It can also carry out all the necessary tests for Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) and welder certificates, and provides services to other companies in this regard.
Details of the calibrated equipment in our laboratory are as follows:
Hydraulic universal tensile / compressive / tilting device
The universal tensile testing machine, with double loadcell and 10 and 60 tonne capacity, can perform tensile tests on all types of materials, processed in standard sizes on our own processing benches, with jaws that vary according to the thickness of the material. Bending and compression tests can also be carried out on the same machine using mandrels, depending on the thickness of the material. The graphics obtained as a result of the test are presented in a report containing all the information about the test, thanks to the existing programme.
Brand : Alsha
Test range : 10-60 tonnes
Year of production : 01.12.2009
Notch Impact Tester
Notch impact tests can be performed on specimens prepared on test benches as specified in the standards, at room temperature and temperatures down to -40°C. The instrument has a maximum fracture energy of 300J.
Date of production : 01.11.2009
Hammer length : 770 mm
Hammer weight : 20,500 kg
Hammer fall angle : 160 degrees
Hardness Tester
The Vickers hardness tester provides the hardness values of the material with HV10 capacity, and the microscope allows the structure of the material to be examined in macro dimensions. In particular, both the HAZ and weld areas of welded materials can be easily examined with this instrument.
Type : Microbul Low Load Vickers Hardness Tester
Year of manufacture : 12.2009
Measuring ranges : HV0.2-HV0.3-HV0.5-HV1-HV3-HV5-HV10
Hot Mounting Machine
In this Metkon brand machine, small materials to be examined macroscopically are made of Bakelite in two ways, hot and cold, i.e. moulded to be held by hand and examined in the macro dimension after the grinding and polishing stages.
