Material Test Laboratory

Meanwhile, the VGB Materials Laboratory has more than 30 years of experience in the field of damage analysis and condition assessment of power plant components. The experience gained during this work is made available to our member companies by means of exchange of experience among the VGB bodies as well as workshops and seminars offered on a regular basis; it decisively contributes towards improving safety and availability. For this sake, all investigation methods necessary in a modern damage laboratory are available.
