Steel in all its alloys is the most common material for which customers ask us to perform a root cause analysis in case of failure. However, from time to time, there are more exotic materials among them. One such case will be discussed here, more specifically a failure analysis on tungsten carbide. This is one of the hardest materials known, except for diamond. 

Eddy Current Testing (ET) is an electromagnetic testing (EMT) method, where a high frequency alternating magnetic field is used to induce currents in the material under examination. ET is a non-contact method, which makes it able to inspect conductive materials covered by thin coatings and paints. This makes it a very good alternative to dye penetrant inspection (PT) and magnetic particle inspection (MPI), also said magnetic testing (MT) since it requires less surface preparation. 

A new milestone has been achieved within our asset integrity capabilities with the successful attainment of Level 3 certification in Acoustic Emission Testing (AT3) in accordance with ISO 9712. This achievement marks an important step forward in strengthening technical expertise and reinforcing our commitment to high-quality non-destructive testing (NDT) services.

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) damage remains one of the more challenging degradation mechanisms encountered in industrial assets, particularly in pressure equipment, piping systems, and welded components operating in sour service environments.

TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium is pleased to announce a new partnership with Ethikis for the LONGTIME® label. LONGTIME® Label Europe’s independent label, dedicated to promoting durable, repairable, and trustworthy consumer products.

We expanded our laboratory capabilities with the addition of a new salt spray cabinet and advanced equipment for viscosity and non‑volatile matter measurements.

TÜV AUSTRIA heeft een controlemethode ontwikkeld om de kwaliteit en de resterende minimale levensduur van ondergrondse houders te bepalen, zoals vermeld in de VLAREM wetgeving voor opslag van brandbare en gevaarlijke vloeistoffen in ondergrondse houders.

We are proud to announce that TÜV AUSTRIA has won the Digital Innovation Award at the Maintenance 2025 trade fair in Antwerp! This prestigious recognition, presented by the Belgian Maintenance Association, celebrates digital innovations that make a relevant impact on maintenance and asset management.

TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium was recently featured on VTM’s "Kan ik het ook?", where we provided an inside look at the meticulous safety inspections conducted at Bobbejaanland. The episode showcased how our Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) experts ensure amusement park rides meet the highest safety standards.  

Without a focus on the positive, on the opportunities that exist even in the crisis, we will not escape the negative spiral. 

METALogic officially becomes TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium by August 1, 2024. Two industry leaders deliver asset integrity expertise and services.
