The generation of heat and power is a complex process. A wide variety of material is applied, designed to operate under severe conditions with respect to temperature, pressure or both. KEMA is specialized in the full range of testing of construction materials, inspection of components of power plant and quality management. Investigations for life extension are also part of our capability. All the inspection and analysis activities can be supported by materials research and laboratory facilities.

Service topics in the field of steel and steel alloys are:

• inspections and quality control
• failure analysis
• non-destructive testing
• creep and fatigue monitoring and analysis using:
• • Speckle Image Correlation Analysis
  • Fitness for purpose
  • Small punch test 
• corrosion monitoring using:
• • KEMA corrosion probes
  • KEMA wall thickness measurements.
