Kiwa is a world-leading expert in testing polyethylene (PE) pipes. Already two years ago Kiwa implemented an eco-friendly version of the accelerated notch pipe test (aNPT)
“One of our problems was the lack of fast test to evaluate the quality of these high-performing PE grades. With the development of the Strain Hardening Test (SHT), the Crack Round Bar (CRB) test and the accelerated Full-Notch Creep Test (aFNCT), it finally was possible. We just needed a pipe test. Besides the Point Load Test (PLT), the accelerated Notch Pipe Test (aNPT) is a great way to quickly assess PE100-RC grades
Kiwa contacted Sciteq to buy the new equipment. Ernst: “Our current equipment was already from Sciteq and we knew that they can really think along when we first bought our PLT equipment from them. In this case we had many specific wishes and requirements from things we learned over the past few years.”
We constantly stayed in close contact with Sciteq to know what they needed for their equipment and when we could expect the delivery. In this way we could make sure everything would run as smooth as possible
Of course, we know things could always go wrong. But when in the end the water tank arrives and fits through the doors by a few millimeters, it really gives a lot of positive energy.”
