Sleeve connection assessment for heat distribution networks
The reliability of district heating networks heavily depends on the quality of pipeline connections. Water ingress at socket connections can compromise insulation, leading to reduced thermal efficiency and corrosion in steel pipes. It is crucial for both ...
Destructive and non-destructive testing electrofusion joints
Electrofusion joints are often used in polyethylene piping systems for, among other things, water and gas. Even though the installation technique is known and a Dutch quality standard (NTA 8828) exists, failing connections still regularly occur. In such c...
Evaluation fuel reformers and fuel cell systems
Kiwa Technology has the possibility to mix all kind of complex (natural) gas compositions, which will be distributed in Europe or elsewhere in the world.
Gas Stations and ATEX
All network operators' gas stations with accessible spaces where hazardous explosive atmospheres may occur are subject to the ATEX regulations. Network operators should therefore ask themselves many questions about safety. Kiwa Technology can advise you.
Hydrogen Combustion
Kiwa Technology has developed a ‘boil-off management system’ for the BMW Hydrogen 7. The ‘boil-off management system’ is a safety device for limiting the pressure in a car's hydrogen fuel tank.
Innovative products and technologies
Innovative new products and services that can be used in the construction, maintenance, repair, replacement and management of gas distribution networks regularly appear on the market.
Pipe leaks - damage investigation and copper corrosion
Water supply systems regularly suffer from copper leakages, which can be caused by various causes. A leak is not always clearly visible from the outside and can cause a lot of inconvenience and material damage. Kiwa can support clients with specialized ma...
Network design
Network design for new areas or minor adjustments to existing networks is a determinant factor in the relationship between your investment costs and delivery reliability. You don't want to lay a large amount of pipeline capacity unnecessarily, but you do ...
Investigation accidents involving gas
Kiwa Technology investigates the cause of all types of accidents involving gas. These investigations are required in order to continue to use gas safely and also in order to assign responsibility for damages to the right parties.

Permeation and chemical compatibility
Kiwa is your partner for assessing the chemical compatibility and material performance of applied materials and the corresponding tests like permeation, immersion or rapid gas decompression tests. Testing material samples, pipes, components or even comple...
Gas distribution safety
Gas distribution safety is currently a topic of high social interest. Organisations such as the supervisory bodies, the Dutch Energy Council and the Dutch National Mines Inspectorate explicitly hold network operators accountable for their responsibilitie...
Jointing techniques materials
Problems in pipeline systems often arise at the connections. At Kiwa Technology, we have years of experience investigating and identifying the causes of connection failures. Our expertise in welding plastic pipes (PE, PEX, PA, PP, etc.) and other joining ...
Heat Pump Tumble dryer
Kiwa Technology has carried out a feasibility study for a manufacturer concerning the possibilities of a tumble dryer powered by a heat pump. We compared the greenhouse effect (TEWI) of CO2 as a cooling agent with conventional products such as R410a and R...
Work procedures and instructions
Under occupational health legislation, technical distribution work, among other things, must be carried out safely. A basis for this is the application of correct and complete work procedures which detail the work methods, materials and personal instructi...
NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 Product Certificate for Drinking Water System Components
Nearly all U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require that components of drinking water distribution systems comply with and/or be certified to the NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 standard. This standard sets minimum criteria for evaluating the health effects...
