Name of service (page headline, shown in promos – maximum of 70 characters incl. spaces):Void content measurements of composite materialLead (include SEO-words and the main benefits for your target groups. Stick to one paragraph, maximum 2-3 sentences):
Void content measurements is an effective method to examine and analyse the quality of a composite material. The method is simple and fast to conduct on cut-off samples.
Purpose/Benefit:
The method gives the opportunity to examine the inner structure of the composite material, i.e. during evaluation of material quality when void content is an important parameter. Fiber distribution, cracks, delaminations and other defects can also be analysed.
Void content measurements as an running process control is an effective way to keep continuous control of the manufacturing process.
Void content measurement is an effective tool during evaluation of new composite material such as fibre (glass-, carbon-, aramidefibre etc.) or resin system (polyester, epoxy etc.)
Void content measurement gives a quick response if the composite laminate has the quality expected from the used manufacturing method.
Method (what/which methods are used to perform the service):
The method is based on that a sample is cut from a finished part or from a test laminate. This sample is molded into a mold for later placement in a grinding/polishing equipment. In this equipment, a mirror-gloss surface is polished and then placed in the microscope for analysis.
As a microscope, a optical microscope or stereo microscope with a CCD camera is used. The CCD camera is connected to an image conversion card in an analysis computer where the image can be studied and calculations performed.
Delivery (what does the client get after performed service – e.g. a report, certificate etc.):
Protocol from the analyses with void content and, if ordered, photos from the analysed surface.
Delivery time:
1-2 working weeks after order and the samples are provided.

Name of service (page headline, shown in promos – maximum of 70 characters incl. spaces):Rock mechanical testingLead (include SEO-words and the main benefits for your target groups. Stick to one paragraph, maximum 2-3 sentences):
As infrastructure projects grow in size, higher utilization of the rock material is required to keep building costs down while maintaining security. Dimensioning models and calculation, which can be used, for example in planning require detailed knowledge of rock mechanics and the properties of different rock materials.
Purpose/Benefit:
In our rock mechanical laboratory there is equipment for rock mechanical testing which in some parts is unique in the country. This gives the opportunity to be able to carry out tests, for example in connection with the construction of infrastructure projects or for purely research purposes.
We can offer different testing methods. In addition to these, it is possible to do special tests as desired, as there is a wide range of mechanical testing equipment and extensive testing expertise in the various laboratories.
Among other things, we have carried out a large assignment for Svensk Kärnbränslehaltning AB (SKB) concerning advanced rock mechanical testing in connection with the design of the work on site investigations for the storage of spent nuclear fuel. Since then, SKB has asked for new knowledge about the mechanical properties of the rock materials. RISE has subsequently developed certain parts of the test methods to obtain new types and improved results.
Method (what/which methods are used to perform the service):
We carry out many methods based on ASTM and ISRM standards. Upon request, we can incorporate more methods as we have a wide equipment bank. Our equipment is adapted for rock mechanics testing of high quality. We can perform uniaxial compression tests, triaxial compression tests, indirect tensile tests (brazilian tests), direct tensile tests, point load strength, cerchar abrasivity test, density, porosity, water content, normal load and direct shear tests, unaxial and triaxial fracture behavior etc.
We can solve transport between drilling site and RISE laboratory in Borås.
We can also drill cores from stones for testing.
The work include both accredited and non-accredited testing methods. The scope of accreditation is available upon request – please feel free to contact us for more information.
Delivery (what does the client get after performed service – e.g. a report, certificate etc.):
We deliver report, diagram and pictures before and after testing with white background.
Delivery time:
In the case of normal workload, we can start testing within two weeks of receiving the sample and finish the report within one week after the end of the test.
