Exova is becoming a contractor of choice for the provision of Engineering Critical Assessment Services prior to pipeline installation. We are also called upon to investigate the viability of components operating in hostile environmental conditions, which are subjected to fatigue, corrosion and possible welding defects during their lifetime. We have extensive experience of fracture toughness testing on a variety of materials for industrial applications such as steels for fabrication of pressure vessels, offshore oil platforms and pipelines. We have in-depth knowledge of the fracture behaviour of high alloy steels and non ferrous alloys, such as aluminium and titanium, routinely performing many of the standard ASTM fracture tests. Our engineers can readily provide data on toughness, crack growth resistance, defect tolerance and overall fitness for purpose.
