ITOPP designs, develops and manufactures a line of generators to perform isentropic compression testing of materials.
As the only company in the world with this expertise, ITOPP is able to precisely study the behavior of materials subjected to extreme dynamic pressures, in particular the acceleration of projectiles to speeds in excess of 10 km/s, speeds inaccessible by other experimental means.
Due to its high-performing equipment and technologies, ITOPP is able to conduct research on the impacts of hyper-speeds that can be applied to the following fields:
- Defense & Security: Development of armor
- Space: Impact of micrometeorites on satellites
- The physics of explosives
- Materials research: Determining equations of state at extreme pressures (around a million bar)
