Huta Bankowa’s Laboratory is recognized by PRS - Polish Register of Shipping and UDT - Office of Technical Inspection in the field of laboratory tests of steel products. We are also member of the Polish Research Laboratories Club - POLLAB.

Our laboratory has appropriate technical equipment as well as suitably qualified and experienced research team, which allows us to perform tests in accordance with current standards, customer requests and qualification societies requirements.

Services offered by Huta Bankowa’s Laboratory as a part of its activities:

SPECTRAL ANALYS LABORATORY
	chemical composition analysis of steel carried out by means of spectral analysis with spark excitation
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES LABORATORY
	static tensile test (tensile strength limit, yield point, elongation, contraction), technological bending test
	impact strength test at temperatures ranging from +20°C to -80°C
	Brinell and Rockwell hardness tests
	heat treatment of qualification samples
METALOGRAPHICAL LABORATORY
	macroscopic tests (Baumann’s test, deep etching test, blue and hardened fracture test)
