Tribology Standards

Choosing tribology testing equipment often includes analyses of standardised procedures to be implemented in experimental techniques. This is why we present here a list of standard tests, which are possible with equipment, supplied by TTZH. However the requirements of our global customers and their internal standards could have a higher priority. If you don’t find a required test on our list, or would like to implement a new specific testing procedure, please don’t hesitate to contact TTZH Support and we would recommend you the best applicable tester, or include your technical task in development of absolutely new technique. Steady development and improvements is a subject of our dialogue and cooperation.
