R&D at Bergrohr
Bergrohr in recent years has entered into diverse R&D activities following a period of time during which a number of innovative ideas have been brought about. These relate to product development as well as optimization of production to suit the new developments. In the case of BERG-LAY® the studies relate to
- corrosion issues
- bending behaviour of pipes
- impact of temperature cycles on the compression between layers
- internal pressure conditions (e. g.: vacuum)
- improvement of tolerances
- processes to prove the characteristic properties of BERG-LAY® pipe (e. g.: grip measurement, as high grip has an impact on issues like bending behaviour, resistance to temperature cycles and internal pressure conditions)
- extensive Finite Element studies (FEA) are carried out with subsequent verification on the test rig
- fatigue testing
