IMA News
IMA Dresden informs about news about WIAM® fatigue RIFEST, the software program for the calculation of strength according to the FKM guideline in the construction process and in the stress analysis. In the new version 2.1.8, we now offer you the possibility of calculation with the notch stress concept for welds. You can also load your collectives from txt or xml files into the collective manager and integrate a proof center image. Our customers receive this update as part of their current contracts and have been informed by our mailing.

For deformation tests on acetabular shells according to ISO 7206-12 or anchoring tests of glenoid components in accordance with ASTM F2028, we use an optical measuring system instead of standard displacement transducers, which detects deformation states and strains contactlessly with maximum accuracy. This photogrammetry method measures samples and components independently of material according to the principle of digital image correlation. With an accuracy of ± 4 μm, path changes can be more flexibly and accurately recorded and visualized. We also recommend this measurement method for many other Tests.

IMA Dresden has been an accredited inspection body Type A as per DIN EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012 and certification body as per DIN EN ISO/IEC 17065:2013 by the German accreditation Body (Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH DAkkS). These are valid for the monitoring and certification of pipes and pipework systems for water and gas supplies and wastewater disposal as well as construction products, product groups and construction components. In the course of re-accreditation, the scope of approval has been widened to cover:
- “Structural sections and decks made from fibre reinforced polymers (FRP/glass fibre composites)”; EAD 260001-00-03.03 2016-04, EOTA file No. 13-26-0001-03.03
The German Railway Authority (Eisenbahn-Bundesamt, EBA) has confirmed the DIBt’s approval of IMA Dresden as a testing, monitoring and certification body also for railway-specific construction products, construction types, components and construction methods. The DIBt approval is a general building authority approval for monitoring and certification bodies in accordance with German state building regulations. It is awarded by the German approval body for construction products and types of construction (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik, DIBt) in Berlin and is thus also valid for railway-specific applications. The scope of the DIBt approval has recently been expanded. See News, “Expansion of the DIBt approval as a monitoring and certification [...]
