Testing Services (Page 2)

As low-carbon energy options continue to evolve, EWI has been exploring related challenges including the qualification of new materials for hydrogen service, concerns related to legacy infrastructure conversion, and thermophysical modeling of impurity interactions. A year ago, we inaugurated our Environmental Testing Laboratory, focused on the evaluation of material properties under exposure to high-pressure, gaseous...

As hydrogen becomes a viable source of power, assuring a safe infrastructure for a national transport system is imperative. As part of that effort, we must accurately understand how H2 interacts with permeable polymers used in pipelines, pumps, tanks, and seals. To date, there is not much known about H2 diffusion through polymers in high-pressure...

Auto manufacturers and suppliers need a valid, reliable way to detect flaws in electric vehicle battery enclosures, or modules. EWI has developed an inexpensive testing method with demonstrated feasibility! Our team validated an EV battery testing procedure involving colorimetric chemical reagents and a reactive gas. It’s a high-resolution marking method that’s faster and clearer than...
