The rapid evolution of biotechnology broadens the spectrum of business opportunities for companies of all industrial segments. IPT’s work can help them identify opportunities in industrial biotechnology and in the formulation and evaluation of R&D projects. The Institute can help identify and evaluate opportunities and threats by means of analyses Read more…
Metallic or ceramic powders are used mainly for the production of sintered products. The physicochemical characterization of these powders for sintered products, which are widely used in the automotive, metal, mechanical and electro-electronic industries, is necessary to ensure their suitability. IPT determines the properties of powders and sintered products in Read more…
The metallurgical industry generates large amounts of subproducts and residues, whose recycling and suitable disposal are important tools for cost reduction and compliance with environmental regulations. IPT plays a leading role in this area, developing and improving recycling processes for subproducts of the metallurgical industry. To this end, it uses Read more…
Corrosion found in reinforced concrete is one of the most frequent pathologies of buildings, especially those exposed to aggressive environments such as the onshore marine atmospheres. The corrosion of carbon steel reinforcements produces oxides and hydroxides. The volume of these corrosion products has much greater volume than the original steel Read more…
IPT has a specialized laboratory destined for metro systems and railways, with competencies developed over decades. Work has been performed on different parts of Brazil’s rail network, especially for the Metro Company of São Paulo, including characterization of infrastructure and experimental determination of wheel loads, stresses on rails, sleepers, fixings, Read more…
The number of special structural elements, such as poles and towers, grows continually in large urban centers, increasing the need for maintenance and safety evaluations. For pathologies related to the strength, service and durability limit states – fissures, cracks, debonding and degradation of materials, dislocations, vibrations, etc. – IPT has Read more…
Bridges and viaducts of Brazil’s road network have for decades been the object of analyses by IPT, considering aspects such as characteristics of the structural project, workload capacity, traffic conditions, passage of super-heavy special loads, occurrence of pathologies and durability, etc. The purpose of these analyses is to evaluate the Read more…
Floating offshore production structures are normally subject to stresses and movements caused by the interaction of risers and umbilical pipes with waves and currents. Such parameters must be carefully foreseen in offshore projects. IPT evaluates the effects of thermal and hydrodynamic forces in risers and pipelines installed in the ocean, Read more…
