Physical characterization of materials and components

For the physical characterization of different types of materials and components, ITA works both under the framework of national and international standards (UNE, EN, ISO, ASTM, etc.), as well as according to customer specifications.

    • Manufacture of panels according to customer’s technical specifications, application of curing-post-curing cycles, machining and preparation of test samples.

    Tests for elevator components

    • Testing of instantaneous elevator parachutes
    • Testing of progressive elevator chutes
    • Sheave hardening depth test
    • Bonding test on elevator brake shoes, linings and levers
    • Machining and preparation of test specimens

    Tests for experimental verification of components and finished products

    We develop tests to verify design requirements, validation of numerical calculations, etc.

    • Verification of sports components against UNE-EN-ISO standards (basketball goals, soccer and handball goals, spectator stands, etc.) with monitoring of displacements and/or deformations.
    • Verification of the resistance of components related to MOPYC- Public Works and Construction Machinery (formwork boards and bars, platforms for loading and unloading materials on site, handrails, staircases, accessible floors, cutting tables, etc.).
    • Verification of automotive components (springs, silent blocks, flexible hoses, seals, etc.)
    • Verification of storage and transport elements (racks, load handlers, containers, etc.)
