CHARACTERIZATION OF BIOMATERIALS FOR CONSTRUCTION
Innovations and Benefits
The service allows the definition of the mechanical and thermal insulation properties of the materials used in construction. The instrumental equipment and the skills developed allow to characterize materials and components for building with a particular attention to the evaluation and increase of energy efficiency.
The mechanical characterization is performed with destructive methods; the thermal characterization can be carried out both by laboratory tests with thermo-flowmeters and theoretical simulation models. It is also possible to verify the thermal performances of the building envelope by thermographic analysis.
Use
The laboratory allows to characterize building materials both from a thermal and mechanical point of view in accordance with the current technical standards. It makes use of a universal machine with a 50 kN load cell and a machine with a 3000 kN load cell for tests of compression, tensile, NETZSCH HFM 436/3/1E thermo-flowmeter with a plate temperature range of -30° C ÷ 90° C, AVIO thermal imaging camera.
