TESTS ON LAMINATED GLASS FOR RAILWAY WINDSHIELDS
Trenitalia's technical specifications require testing the glass of driver's cabins with a test that ensures their safety upon impact. Take a look at what our colleagues from "Special Setups" have created for this unique test!
MECHANICAL TESTS FOR RAILWAY APPLICATIONS
Giordano Institute offers testing services to meet the technical and regulatory needs of the railway sector. Among the tests carried out, mechanical tests are performed in the vibration laboratory. Discover everything in our article.
Optical tests in the railway sector
Istituto Giordano’s optical laboratory carries out tests on windscreens and train windows in accordance with the main Italian and international standards. The purpose of these tests is to ensure that the glass does not distort the view of the external environment or the perception of colors and light signals.
ACOUSTIC TESTS IN THE RAILWAY SECTOR
In our acoustics laboratory, we test products for the railway sector to assess their performance. The tests primarily focus on noise reduction devices (noise barriers) and elements of railway vehicles (interior and exterior panels, windshields, and side windows) to determine their sound insulation properties.
