new laboratory in the USA

Lab in Athensamtec intensifies the activity in the USA with the opening of the testing laboratory in Athens, Ohio. Beside the services in our testing laboratory we offer now for our interested parties the possibility to have a look at the multifunctional test rig TEMESfl.ai1 and to be introduced to its functions. With this test rig amtec sets new standards worldwide in the sector of gasket testing. It allows the examination of all gasket types in
 
  • compression tests
  • leakage tests
  • compressive creep tests
  • creep relaxation tests
 
for gasket characterization or quality control in the manufacturing process of the sealing elements.
 
The adress of the new amtec - Testing Laboratory in North America is:
 
amtec North America, Inc.
189 Columbus Road
Athens, OH 45701
USA
 
Seminars and Workshops as well as calculation services complete the expanded range of services offered in the USA. We are constantly looking for young and ambitious engineers who are willing to strengthen our team.
Training equipment

training equipmentWith the publication of the standard EN 1591-4 two years ago the demand of workshops for qualification of personnel in assembly of bolted flange connections increases constantly. We offer a customized training program for especially big companies because there is a high training need. Relevant standardized training devices are necessary because the practical training represents an essential component in the competence of the technicians.
 
The theoretical fundamentals can be illustrated better with practical elements and the existing skills can be stabilized. That's why amtec developed the following training equipment also used in our offered training programs.
 
The following devices are used in our training program according to EN1594-4:
 
  • bolting device: influence of grease and friction factors
  • flange device PN40/DN100 or NPS 4/Class 300: influence of assembly procedure
  • torque device: influence of accuracy and reproducibility of different tightening tools and proper use of torque controlled tools
 
A corresponding graphical presentation of the measured signals during the exercises carried out by the technicians themselves intensifies the positive effects and causes the famous "aha" reaction.
 
The torque device may not only be used for training programs. A simple function control before the use of the torque wrench and if necessary a regular calibration of torque wrenches is possible with this device.
 
Are you interested in these training equipments? Please contact us to get a free quotation.
