It’s cheaper to know than to assume

Testing and validation play a crucial role when developing products in industries that make high demands on quality; the wind turbine industry, for instance. Test analyses can be used for purposes such as establishing performance of materials and complete systems. Besides, it is cheaper to test your way to new knowledge than to learn the hard way – by guessing wrong.

DANAK accreditation assures quality and confidentiality

The Polytech test laboratories in Bramming and Herning, Denmark, are both accredited by DANAK in accordance with the ISO 17025 standard. Accreditation provides you with certified peace of mind in relation to the uniform high quality of all our tests. Moreover, DANAK accreditation guarantees that your test objects, test methods and test results are all treated with complete confidentiality.

Have your Leading Edge Protection solutions tested

The erosion of blade leading edges constitutes a huge challenge to wind turbine owners and blade manufacturers alike, causing increased focus on research and testing in this particular area. In our accredited test laboratory, we perform customer-specific tests of how rain, UV light, salt spray and temperature fluctuations as well as combinations of these degrade the leading edge.

The biggest laboratory in the world for tests using artificial lightning

The latest industry standards for lightning protection of wind turbines require lightning protection systems to be tested using artificial lightning. In the biggest laboratory in the world for this purpose, we perform tests on turbine parts – including full-size blades and nacelles – by creating the same electromechanical forces as occur in natural lightning.

The answers you need

Tests are often easier to understand than computer-generated simulations because you can see, touch and smell the results of a test. At Polytech’s accredited test centers, you can have us perform a wide range of mechanical tests, weathering tests, erosion tests, lightning tests and more. We carry out customized test procedures for OEM customers and subcontractors to the industry. Further, we continuously test a wide range of materials in order to find better and/or cheaper alternatives for the benefit of our customers. We always perform tests with the precision, quality, traceability and confidentially guaranteed by our DANAK accreditation.
