Materials and environmental testing

Knowing what to test for, how to test and who can test can be challenging. Our experienced engineers possess the skills, knowledge and expertise to design test programmes that align with industry standards. Collaborating to deliver an efficient and effective delivery approach, we have experience in designing and delivering test pyramids with a wide range of sectors, applications and materials.​

​Beyond utilising established test methods and standards, we design and deliver bespoke test methods. Through our strong network of partnerships, we work with industry bodies to push the boundaries in state-of-the-art of testing to enable the innovations in new products and materials. 

We offer a comprehensive range of application and environmental testing services to assess advanced materials for the applications they’ll be deployed in. ​

Our leading developments in cryogenic temperature cyclic testing mean we can test materials in a cheaper and faster way. Our recent addition of pressure testing capability for hydrogen pressure vessels means we can validate designs and manufacturing proof of concepts against standards.​

Whether fire, smoke and toxicity or exposure to environmental conditions like sea-water, our extensive testing experience and strong industry partnerships can help.

A crucial and standard part of the design and manufacturing process, mechanical testing determines the mechanical properties of a material, component or product. Evaluating the impact of changes on material and component performance during the product development phase can help to optimise the design and manufacturing process. ​

​Our specialist manufacturing and testing engineers work alongside, utilising vast experience with access to our state-of-the art facility, and range of technologies. Underpinned by our strong collaborative partnerships, and supply chain networks, we undertake mechanical testing to the required quality and standards. From tensile and compression to impact and shear, we have the capabilities to meet your testing needs.
