PRODUCTS TESTED IN ITC LABORATORIES

• Plastic piping systems for fuel gas distribution
• Systems for gravity, vacuum and pressure sewerage, wells
• Glass-laminate piping systems
• Drainage systems
• Indoor sewage systems resistant to lowered and increased temperatures
• Pipe sleeves, tubes and micro-tubes for optical cables
• Sealing components (joint fillers, teflon straps, O-rings)
• Plastic and rubber hoses

TESTING OF PIPNG SYSTEMS

• Strength at permanent internal overpressure of pipes, valves, assembly components and systems
• Tightness of pressure systems under constant internal overpressure, under recurrent pressure and temperature changes, under vibration stress, etc….
• Tightness of sewage, waste and gutter systems
• Resistance to slow crack propagation
• Abrasion of sewage pipeline
• Determination of creep factor for sewage pipelines, creep and relaxation behaviour of tubes and materials when pulled or bended, welding factor, etc.
• Resistance to temperature cycles of floor drains, gully traps and other accessories
• Pull-out tests
• Impact tests
• Material properties (density, melt flow index, thermal oxidation stability, dimensional stability, stress-strain properties, Vicat heat resistance, etc.)

TESTING OF HOSES

• Static pressure tests (internal overpressure – at operating, testing and failure levels; changes in length and diameter at overpressure)
• Tightness under recurrent pressure and temperature changes, under vibration stress, etc.
• Bend strength tests (at various temperatures)
• Vacuum tests
• Layer bond strength
• Ageing resistance (ageing – in heat, ozone, xenon discharge lamp light, etc.)
• Material properties of hose jackets and tubes (pull tests, resistance to liquids, etc.)
• Gas permeability
• Flammability tests; ignition resistance
