Fondato nel 1959, Istituto Giordano è un Ente Tecnico all'avanguardia nel testing di prodotto, nella ricerca e nella certificazione; grazie ai suoi 15 laboratori di prova, alle apparecchiature di cui dispone e alla competenza del proprio personale, è in grado di supportare le aziende nello svolgimento di attività di ricerca e sviluppo, in particolare nel settore dei prodotti da costruzione.
Riportiamo di seguito alcune delle attività che possono essere realizzate per lo sviluppo/ottimizzazione di nuovi prodotti:
- prove di durabilità, mediante opportuni processi di invecchiamento accelerato (es. cicli termici con o senza controllo dell'umidità, irraggiamento solare e UV, nebbia salina, vibrazioni, tenuta all'acqua e alle polveri, ecc.);
- prove di resistenza e di reazione al fuoco;
- prove di isolamento e di assorbimento acustico;
- determinazione della conduttività termica di materiali isolanti;
- verifica del rilascio di sostanze pericolose (es. COV: Composti Organici Volatili) e abbatti-mento degli inquinanti;
- prove di sicurezza elettrica e di compatibilità elettromagnetica;
- misura del rendimento termico di corpi scaldanti, stufe e caminetti a legna/pellet;
- progettazione e costruzione di prototipi in scala di laboratorio;
- caratterizzazione di prodotti di rivestimento (es. pitture, vernici, smalti, incapsulanti per l'amianto, intonaci, ...);
- controlli non distruttivi sia in campo industriale che civile.
