Accredited Testing Laboratory
The Accredited Testing Laboratory of the Klokner Institute performs tests according to a specific standard either on delivered samples or on samples taken directly from a construction site. During load tests, the Accredited Laboratory is able to continuously record the course of movements, deformations, stresses, displacements, and other changes to the tested elements due to loading.
List of activities of the Accredited Testing Laboratory
The Accredited Testing Laboratory of the Klokner Institute provides
- testing of concrete and mortar mixtures (compressive, tensile, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, frost resistance, air content in the mix, workability or volume changes)
- tests of fresh concrete
- testing of metals, steels and concrete reinforcement
- investigation of the quality of rope elements and prestressing reinforcements
- tests of welded reinforcement
- static load tests of bridges
- dynamic load tests of building structures and evaluation of the effects of machine vibrations on structures and humans
- tensile, compression, bending and torsion tests of electrical insulators
- quality assessment of building materials and elements based on laboratory tests (concrete, fibre concrete, aerated concrete, mortar, stone, wood, building glass, masonry elements, masonry units, insulating foils or coatings)
