Workpiece and material testing

For incoming inspection or after the completion of large components, we use measuring and testing methods to determine the quality of the workpiece. These tests are documented in accordance with the relevant standards.

We carry out a wide variety of workpiece, material and dimensional testing for our customers.

Laser tracking

With our mobile laser measuring system, we can also perform dimensional checks on components and precisely measure complex contours of large components. Dimensional accuracy inspection with the Laser Tracker - WEHRLE Service on site

Fully documented and traceable, we achieve the following accuracies with our laser tracker:

Distance measurement in beam direction
	Length (m)	2-5	2-10	2-20	2-30	2-40	2-60
	Distance (m)	3	8	18	28	38	58
ADM	MPE (mm)	0.018	0.022	0.03	0.038	0.046	0.062
ADM	typically (mm)	0.009	0.011	0.015	0.019	0.023	0.031

Horizontal gauge block measurements (2.3m)
	Measuring range (m)	2	5	10	20	30	40	60
ADM	MPE (mm)	0.044	0.064	0.099	0.17	0.24	0.311	0.453
ADM	typically (mm)	0.022	0.032	0.049	0.085	0.12	0.156	0.226

Your advantages

Mobility: simple design, quick and precise measurement, also for several components
Component size: suitable for large components of up to 60 m
Precision: reliable and precise measurement, also for large dimensions

Leak and pressure tests:

Test medium:	gas/water
Test pressure:	up to 1000 bar (depending on the application and regulations)
Execution:	by a notified body in case of manufacture according to regulations, alternatively by WEHRLE’s Quality Management Department according to “good engineering practice”

If necessary, leak and pressure tests for steam boilers and pressure vessels may be carried out by a notified body, e.g. TÜV SÜD.

Non-destructive testing of materials and welds:

Visual inspection
Surface crack testing	Magnetic particle method, dye penetrant method
Volume testing methods	Ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing
Material mix-up tests / material determination	X-ray fluorescence analysis, spectral analysis
Mobile hardness testing

All tests are carried out by certified specialists according to DIN EN ISO 7912.

Construction testing:

- AD2000 Pressure vessels and steam boilers
- DIN EN 12952 Water tube boilers
- DIN EN 12953 Shell boilers
- DIN EN 13445 Unfired pressure equipment
- DIN EN 13480 Pipes

Execution by notified body, e.g. TÜV SÜD.
