Standard Test Pieces

tabel

The above alloys have been manufactured and tested in Germany.

Alloys C, E and F have been tested also in the Danish rig test in the operation period March 2002-March 2003.

figur

In both German and Danish tests the alloys were mounted in stainless steel pipes at same dimensions and same ratio between test piece and pipe length.
