Composite Testing Technology
Our mission
Grasse Zur Composite Testing specialises in the testing of fibre-reinforced plastics and operates an ISO 17025 accredited materials testing laboratory at its site in Berlin. The tests include all relevant procedures in the field of destructive and non-destructive testing and thermal analysis. In addition, the company develops reference test fixtures for material testing, manufactures the online process control GZ US-Plus® for monitoring incoming goods and for production of components made of thermoset plastics and offers professional seminars on all aspects of composite testing in cooperation with experienced lecturers.
Our claim
At Grasse Zur Composite Testing, the quality of material testing for fibre-reinforced plastics is the top priority. The entire team works together to continuously improve the processes in order to guarantee a consistently high quality of material testing. This includes achieving the best test results with the lowest possible standard deviations, testing according to in-house specifications that clearly exceed the requirements specified in the respective test standards, fast and proactive communication with the customers and adherence to the agreed delivery dates with maximum flexibility and fair prices at the same time.

Drum Peel Test Fixture GZ D-25
A drum peel test fixture is used to determine the resistance of core composites to peeling loads acting perpendicular to the surface layer, in accordance with DIN 53295 or similar standards. This test fixture is suitable for core composites whose surface layer can be wound around the drum during the test. The part of the core composite that is not wound around the drum (the core and the second top layer) must be sufficiently rigid to resist bending. The drum peel test fixture can be used in all standard universal testing machines.
The GZ D-25 drum peel test fixture is characterised by a user-friendly and easy-to-operate design, as well as an extremely precise linear guide for the roller-bearing-mounted drum with end stops. The test rig has an stainless design and is made of high-alloy tool steel.
