Standard Test Specimens for the Industry

High-quality standard test specimens for precise surface analysis in industry

Surface analysis plays a crucial role in modern industrial production and quality control. To ensure the highest standards in material testing, we offer specialized standard test specimens that are manufactured exactly to the individual requirements of our industrial customers. Our precision work enables us to provide standard test specimens and test panels in a variety of materials such as metals, plastics, woods and glasses that meet or exceed all current industry standards.

Manufacturing is carried out with the highest precision to ensure that the test specimens are perfectly suited to your specific applications. We attach great importance to the fact that all commercially available materials can be used for the production of your individual test panels and standard test specimens.

A special service that we offer our customers is the professional deburring of the test panels or test specimens. This careful post-processing ensures that the surfaces of your test objects are optimally prepared for analysis and therefore deliver reliable results.

Use our tailor-made solutions to optimize your quality control processes and ensure that your products meet the highest standards. Contact us today to find out more about our standard test specimens and how we can work together. Discover how our precision manufacturing can help you achieve your surface analysis goals and gain a competitive edge in the industry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a standard test specimen? A test specimen is a standardised or custom-made sample with defined geometry and surface. It is used to determine properties such as bond strength, coating adhesion or material characteristics under reproducible conditions.

Which standards do you manufacture specimens to? We manufacture to common test standards – for example lap-shear specimens to DIN EN 1465 – as well as to your individual drawing. Tell us the required standard or specification and we'll produce the matching geometry.

Which materials are the specimens available in? Virtually all commercially available materials: plastic, metal, aluminium, stainless and mild steel, glass and wood. Material pairings matching your real bonded joint are also possible.

Do you produce specimens to customer drawings? Yes. Alongside standard-compliant geometries, we produce specimens and test panels exactly to your drawing or specification – as a single piece or in recurring batches.

Why are the test panels deburred? Burrs and sharp edges distort the joint and therefore the measured results. Professional deburring provides defined, reproducibly prepared surfaces and thus reliable test values.
