Knowledge about the fatigue behavior of equipment used in offshore systems is very important for the deepwater oil exploration industry, not only to optimize the time-cost relationship of maintenance and operation but also to allow the forecast of possible faults, thus making it possible to modify the original project before Read more…
A lighting project requires knowledge of the characteristics of light sources and lighting fixtures, so that they can be applied adequately for the desired purpose. IPT performs a number of lighting tests, most of them following the NBS 250-20, NBR 9503, and NBR 15111 standards, which provide data on the Read more…
Human exposure to non-ionizing radiation is regulated on a federal level by Federal Law 11,934/2009 and by Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency) Directive 303/2002, prescribing permissible limits for radiation originated by telecommunications equipment aerials and, on a municipal level in São Paulo, by regulation 80/SVMA/2005 of the Department of Environment of Read more…
All installed equipment which is exposed to weather or to very dusty or damp environments must be tested for their degree of protection against dust and water, particularly in classified areas in the petrochemical industry (risk of explosion due to fuel vapors) and in public outdoor lighting. IPT performs tests Read more…
The sale of products on international markets and in some areas of the domestic market requires obligatory safety tests, which constitute legal requirements accepted by the WTO (World Trade Organization), according to the three principles of Health, Environment and Safety (HES). IPT performs tests for various electrical and electronic products. Read more…
The sale of electric and electronic products on international markets and in some areas of the domestic market requires obligatory electromagnetic compatibility tests (EMC) to protect communications and ensure the equipment’s safe operation. IPT performs practically all the tests conducted on various families of products and also offers technical support Read more…
Wind tunnel testing is a reliable tool to determine the effect of wind loads on engineered structures such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, towers, roofs, cables, chimneys, trestlework, vehicles and others. This application is directly related to situations which require highly accurate and reliable information or cases in which knowledge about Read more…
Just as packaging is important for the preservation of its contents, the types of cargo unitization and wrapping are important to maintain the integrity of the packaging. Safety in cargo handling operations, ever more mechanized, requires better control of components for handling and unitizing materials and also their fastening systems, Read more…
IPT evaluates different machinery that uses combustion, gasification and heat exchange, such as steam generators, boilers and industrial furnaces, recommending solutions for improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions of atmospheric pollutants. The Institute’s work includes monitoring process parameters and performing mass and energy balances, as well as preparing diagnoses and Read more…
IPT performs research on oil derivative fuels and alternative fuels (biodiesel, light ethanol, biodigestion gases and gasification of solid and liquid fuels, etc.) for the development of innovative applications for stationary and automotive internal combustion engines. This research includes studies and tests for proper use of fuels, involving aspects such Read more…
