About Lab Ghent

Our testlab in Ghent focusses mainly on ferrous and non-ferrous metal testing. It offers a wide range of characterization tests that reveal chemical, mechanical and metallographic properties, as well as non-destructive testing. Quality and independence are proven by the annual Belac ISO 17025 accreditation.  Besides quality testing, its expertise also lies in failure analysis, corrosion processes and foundry technology.

Our lab is embedded in the Materials research cluster (https://www.mrcluster.be/) and is located close to the Materials and Metals departments of UGent. The MRC partnership joins more than 200 scientists, technologists and technicians under one roof. Together with the other partners, we can actively convey the acquired knowledge about materials to the companies and guarantee a broad, multidisciplinary range of material tests.
