Testing Medium

Test materials are chemical, physical, or mechanical auxiliary substances and devices for performing non-destructive testing. Their quality and specifications must comply with regulations.

Physicochemical Mechanism of Action

Testing agents (Testing Medium) are used to verify properties of materials or components without damaging them. They can consist of chemical solutions, special liquids, devices, or sensors.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

Incorrect testing agents or their improper application can lead to erroneous results. This can lead to misjudgments in material selection, process optimization, or quality assurance, and thus to safety risks in construction.

Workshop Practice & Action Instructions

Always use qualified testing agents and ensure correct application. Make sure that all devices and auxiliary materials comply with specified standards. Document the use and results of the tests thoroughly.
