Testing & Validation
From Lab to Real-World Reliability
At Proventia, we offer advanced testing and validation services through our fully equipped, in-house test center – purpose-built to support the rigorous demands of engine, machine, and equipment manufacturers.
Our comprehensive test environment ensures your systems meet regulatory requirements, perform under real-world conditions, and stand the test of time. Whether we’re testing a new product or refining an existing one, we test with confidence and help bring the product to market with speed and certainty.
High-End Test Facilities for Real-World Demands
Our state-of-the-art test center is built to validate test performance, aging, and durability across a wide range of advanced components, powertrain solutions and system integrations. Whether you need testing for emissions compliance, ensure the reliability of electric systems or assess the performance of electric and hybrid technologies, we deliver feasible insights to accelerate development.
We test:
- Exhaust aftertreatment systems
- Combustion engines (up to 470 kW)
- Hybrid systems
- Full-size battery packs
- Individual components and subsystems
Our test center supports both steady-state and transient test cycles, including industry-standard profiles (WHTC, NRTC, NRSC, LLC) and customer-specific protocols.
verify what matters. optimize what counts.

Mastering AdBlue® Mixing Testing
Efficient NOX reduction depends on precise AdBlue® (DEF/urea) injection and uniform ammonia distribution. At Proventia, we provide advanced AdBlue® mixing testing to ensure optimal SCR functionality, reliability, and compliance with emissions standards.
Our unique AdBlue® testing system features:
- An online camera system to monitor the injection area in real-time
- High-resolution scanning device to validate NH₃ distribution in exhaust gas stream
With decades of expertise in deposit prevention and SCR system design, we help you achieve:
- Even ammonia distribution for efficient catalytic reactions
- Minimized risk of deposit build-up
- Reliable, high-performance NOX reduction over the system’s lifecycle
Engineered to Endure, Validated to Perform
Durability testing
In harsh off-highway environments, components are constantly exposed to mechanical and thermal stress. At Proventia, we ensure our systems can handle the pressure – day after day, job after job. Our durability testing program is designed to test long-term performance and structural integrity through rigorous test methods.
Each test is documented, analyzed, and reported to support product development, compliance, and customer confidence.
Our comprehensive testing program includes, but is not limited to, the following durability tests:
Road Load Data Acquisition (RLDA)
Road Load Data Acquisition (RLDA)
We measure acceleration, strain, and temperature using Siemens LMS SCADAS™ and LMS Test.Lab™, including Mission Synthesis, for in-depth analysis of real-world driving events.
Output includes:
- Lifetime Equivalent Bending Moment
- Lifetime & Accelerated PSD
Hot Shaker Testing
Hot Shaker Testing
We validate mechanical durability using accelerated vibration testing based on RLDA-derived PSD profiles, replicating real-world conditions.
- The system is heated to operational temperature with continuous monitoring.
- Tests include sine sweep (for fatigue and modal analysis) and shock testing (for transient event resistance).
Bending Moment Testing
Bending Moment Testing
We validate the durability of inlet/outlet connections using fatigue-equivalent bending moments based on RLDA data or customer specs.
- The test applies a fatigue equivalent bending moment to replicate the fatigue damage caused by lifetime usage in the field.
- We assess damage levels and their distribution by comparing real-life field data with the results of the bending moment test.
Thermal Shock Testing
Thermal Shock Testing
This test demonstrates the product’s resistance to thermo-mechanical fatigue.
- High-stress areas are identified using TMA (Thermo-Mechanical Analysis) simulations.
- The system is heated to the required temperature, with adjustable mass flow to match target conditions.
- Water quenching can be included as an optional part of the test.
Substrate Retention & Push-Out Testing
Substrate Retention & Push-Out Testing
This test ensures that the mat and canning provide sufficient strength under various load conditions, such as shock, vibration, and thermal stress.
- We employ dedicated transducers to measure the force and movement applied to the substrate. This enables us to verify that the mat ensures strong and reliable retention, even for aged substrates under both cold and hot conditions.
Nondestructive Testing (NDT)
Nondestructive Testing (NDT)
We assess the structural integrity of components before and after validation testing using methods such as:
- Visual inspection
- Leak rate testing
- Dye penetrant inspection
- 3D scanning
- Optional: Destructive weld testing upon request
Corrosion Resistance Testing
Corrosion Resistance Testing
We conduct corrosion resistance tests, such as salt spray tests, in accordance with the SFS EN-ISO 9227 standard.
Field Testing
Field Testing
Complementary to lab-based simulations, ensuring component performance in real-world applications.
Proventia’s prototype and testing team excels in rapid prototype modifications and retesting. their flexibility during the hectic prototyping phase enables quick product development.
