The company maintains a lab for chemical analysis, mechanical testing of metals and cast materials as well as non-destrucive testing with the purpose of providing and controlling the quality of the final output.

• SPECTROLAB 15 – 4 programs
• Dye-penetrant inspection
• Elcometer – a device to measure the dry film thickness of the applied anti-corrosion coatings
• Contactless temperature measurement
• Equipment for hardness testing:
  • portable hardness meter – allows to control the hardness of workpieces specified by the customer – HL, HV, HB, HRC, HRB, HS scales
  • stationary hardness meter – HRS, HRB scales
• Pump testing stand – up to 10 atmospheres pressure

The mechanical workshop is a separate structural unit which is divided into:
