MATERIALS TESTING
Our materials testing services are considered as complementary to Non-Destructive Testing or for analysing specific failures or material components.
Destructive Tests
Destructive tests incorporate physical and mechanical test methods to establish why a material has failed such as tensile strength, toughness and material hardness as well as ability to withstand certain forces (i.e. internal and external pressures).
- Forensic failure analysis
- Material properties validation
- Tensile strength measurements
- Coating and lining integrity
- Non-ferrous composites
Metallurgy
Metallurgy: using material science and advanced micro component technologies we can analyse the physical and chemical behaviour of metals. This allows us to ascertain the specific properties, potential stress failures and corrosive resistance.
Concrete Testing
Concrete: composite assessment programmes can include:
Carbonation depth testing
Acoustic sounding survey
Chloride analysis
Half-cell potential
Petrographic analysis
Sulphate content
HAC content
Cement content
