| Specialist Service Offerings |  | | Abrasion/Wear Fraction | | Axial and Rotational | | Bend | | Brinell | | Charpy | | Compression | | CTOD + KEE | | Cyclic Pressure Testing | | Drop Weight Test | | Dynamic Loading | | Elongation | | Experimental Stress Analysis | | Finite Element Analysis (FEA) | | Flexural | | Fracture Toughness Fracture
Toughness is a measure of the fracture resistance of a material
containing a crack. Fracture mechanics allows the design and selection
of materials while taking into account the inevitable presence of
flaws. Industries that utilise these testing procedures include
off-shore oil, nuclear, pressure vessel, pipeline and aerospace.
(CTOD) Crack Tip Opening Displacement, ASTM E399/E1820: This
method provides a measure of the material’s resistance to unstable
crack extension at various temperatures. The data obtained can be
utilised for defect tolerance calculations.
J-IC , ASTM E399/E1820: The compact specimen for J testing allows
for a load line displacement IC, measurement in the line of the applied
loads.
K-IC , ASTM E399/E1820: This test measures fracture toughness
that develops under IC predominantly linear-elastic loading with the
crack-tip region subjected to near-planestrain constraint conditions
through the thickness.
K-EE, ASTM E992: The determination of fracture toughness of steels using equivalent energy methodology. | | GRP | | Hardness Brinell,
ASTM E10 - This is a simple indentation test for determining the
hardness of a wide variety of materials. The test consists of applying
a prescribed load, usually between 500kg and 3000kg for a specified
time (10-30 seconds) using a 5 or 10mm diameter tungsten carbide ball
on the flat surface of a metal sample.
Microhardness, ASTM 3384 - A microindentation is made on the
surface of a metal sample. The hardness number is based upon the
measurements made of the indent formed in the surface of the test
specimen.
Knoop, ASTM E384 - The Knoop indenter has a polished rhombohedral
shape with an included longitudinal angle of 172° 30’ and an included
transverse angle of 130° 0’. The narrowness of the indenter makes it
ideal for testing specimens with steep hardness gradients and coatings.
Knoop is a better choice for hardness testing of hard brittle
materials.
Vickers - This testing is similar to Brinell in that a defined
indenter is pressed into a material. Once the indenting force is
removed, the resulting indentation diagonals are measured.
Microindentation Vickers is per ASTM E384 and Macroindentation Vickers
is per ASTM E92.
Rockwell, ASTM E18 - This test differs from the Brinell test in
the shape of the indenter and in the manner that the number is
determined. The Rockwell number represents the difference in depth
penetration between two loads. There are two types of Rockwell;
Rockwell and Superficial Rockwell. The difference between the two is
the minor and major loads applied to the specimen. The indenter used
may be a diamond cone or a hardened ball depending principally on the
characteristics of the material being tested.
Portable Hardness, ASTM E110 - This testing is normally used for
on-site applications or on very large samples. The Krautkramer Branson
Micro-Dur II unit performs the hardness testing by applying a 5 kg.
Vickers load indenter and electronically converts the values in the
preferred scale. | | Hydrostatic Pressure Testing | | Impact The
impact test is a method for evaluating the toughness and notch
sensitivity of engineering materials. It is usually used to test the
toughness of metals, but similar tests are used for polymers, ceramics
and composites.
The test specimen is broken by the impact of a heavy
pendulum hammer, falling at a pre-determined velocity through a fixed
distance. On impact, the specimen deforms elastically until yielding
takes place and the specimen fractures.
The test measures the energy used to fracture the specimen, this
depends on the size of the test specimen, therefore, a standard
specimen size is used to allow comparison between different materials.
The energy absorbed during fracture is indicated by the degree of
over-swing of the pendulum, read directly from the machine dial.
Charpy In accordance with BS EN 10045-1 & ASTM E23.
The test machine is capable of carrying out impact testing with an
initial striking energy of either 300J or 600J. The full size test
specimen is machined to a 10x10mm cross-section, with either ‘ V ‘
notch or ‘U’ notch (sub size specimens are used where the material
thickness is restricted). The specimen is placed on the anvil
horizontally with the notch away from the point of impact.
Strain Age CVN In accordance with BS131 Pt1
A test panel of 350mm long is machined from the test specimen, and
then strained to a specified limit. The Charpy specimens are machined
and aged in a furnace at a set temperature and duration. Following
which the specimens are Charpy Impact tested.
Izod – In accordance with BS131 Pt1
The test machine is capable of carrying out impact testing with an
initial striking energy of 150J. The test specimen is machined to a
square or round section, with either one two or three notches. The
specimen is clamped vertically on the anvil with the notch facing the
point of impact.
Testing to ASTM/BS with impact testing from sub-zero to 1000degC.
Industry sectors: Aerospace, Power generation
| | Izod | | J1C | | Jominy Hardenability The
Jominy Test involves heating a test piece of steel 25mm diameter and
100mm long to an austenitising temperature and quenching from one end
with a controlled and standardised jet of water. After quenching the
hardness is measured at intervals taken from the quenched end. The
hardness variation along the test surface is a result of
microstructural variation that arises as the cooling rate decreases
with distance from the quenched end. | | K1C | | Microhardness | | Nick Break Nick Break – In accordance with API 1104
The principal of this test is to break the sample through the weld
metal in order to examine the fracture surface. Applying a three point
bending load induces the fracture. The fracture surface is then
examined; type and location of any weld defect are reported.
| | Notch Pipe Testing (Slow Crack Growth) | | Plastic Strain Ratio This
test method determines the plastic strain ratio, r, of sheet metal
intended for deep-drawing applications. “r” is a parameter that
indicates the ability of a sheet metal to resist thinning or thickening
when subjected to either tensile or compressive forces in the plane of
the sheet. It is a measure of sheet steel drawability. | | Plastic Weld Testing | | Portable | | Post Failure Analysis Using SEM | | Pressure Testing | | Proof Load (Bolts & Nuts) | | Rapid Crack Propagation (RCP) | | Ring Flaring test This
Procedure tests the ability of a section of tube approximately 4” in
length to flare (with a tool having a 60° included angle) until the
tube at the mouth of the flare has been expanded 15% of the inside
diameter, without cracking or showing flaws. | | Ring Flattening Test A
tube sample 4” - 6” in length is flattened between parallel plates with
the weld 90° from the direction of applied force until opposite walls
of the tubing meet. Applications for this test along with the flaring
test include situations where round tubing is to be formed into other
shapes | | Rockwell | | Static Pressure Testing Static
pressure up to approximately 10000 Psi (685 Bar) using Water, Suds or
Oil Static pressure up to approximately 3000 Psi (205 Bar) using
Gaseous medium.
Gas pressure tests generally only undertaken on small chamber volume components for safety reasons.
Depending on the exact nature of the test configuration the tests
can be performed at temperature if required. We nominally cover the
temperature range of -80° to +180°C, but we have the facilities to work
between -196°C and approximately 1400°C but this is purely dependent on
the test configuration.
A PC based acquisition system can be used to monitor pressure
versus time and any additional auxiliary instrumentation such as strain
gauges. The data obtained can be supplied in the form of graphs or can
be supplied in text format for subsequent analysis. | | Stress Rupture | | Surface Engineering, Work Environment & electronic materials | | Surface Integrity The
integrity of a manufactured metal surface may have specific
requirements, e.g. machining finish, freedom from defects or
non-metallic inclusions.
Various techniques may be utilised to check for such irregularities and ensure compliance to specified requirements.
The primary method would involve examination of a sample under a
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), which can view the surface at up to
several thousand magnifications. By this method even the smallest of
defects can be detected and any foreign bodies can be positively
identified by EDAX analysis. In addition, detailed measurements can be
made using specialised digital imaging software.
Alternatively, conventional metallographic techniques may be used
to obtain a wider picture of both the surface and substrate material.
All metal types can be examined, including those with specialised metallic or organic coatings.
| | Temperature & Humidity Components
manufactured for applications involving special temperature and
humidity conditions are often tested at specified conditions to provide
assurances of satisfactory performance in service. The test involves
exposure to a humid atmosphere (typically 98%RH) at a selected
temperature, in a test chamber for an extended period which may vary
from a few days to many months. To compliment this service, fully
programmable cyclic corrosion test cabinets are available, which can
run continuous cycles involving a wide range of temperatures and
humilities.
Tests can be conducted to a range of national and international standards or to specific requirements if so desired. | | Tensile - Compression Shear Compression
shear tests are carried out on overlay/clad materials to assess the
bond strength of the joint. Specimens are prepared typically in
accordance with ASTM A264 by machining a blank of base material and
overlay, then removing most of the overlay with the exception of a
small rectangular protrusion. This is then fitted in a jig on a tensile
frame and pulled in such a way that the cladding block is sheared from
the base material. The shear strength is then calculated by dividing
the failure load applied by the area of cladding under test. | | Tensile - Elevated Temp This
test is involves straining a test piece under and controlled
temperature conditions and controlled tensile loading normally to
destruction, in order to determine a number of mechanical properties at
the specified temperature. Typically the properties preferred by the
Client include: Yield/Proof Stress, Ultimate Tensile Strength,
Percentage Elongation and Percentage Reduction of Area. The Laboratory
performs elevated temperature tensile tests to European or American
test method specifications. With today's ever-increasing awareness for
quality and safety, the elevated temperature tensile testing of all
various forms of materials has become far more critical for
manufacturing, aerospace and automotive industries. | | Tensile - Low Temp The
laboratory has six frames available, with a load capacity of up to
1000kN. Four of the frames are equipped with digital control and data
capture systems, these systems are all inter-changeable, both in
software, hardware, to minimise any risks due to system failures.
Testing can be performed at temperatures from sub zero to 1150 deg.C, using controlled thermal ramp rates if required.
Test specimen designs to suit the customers requirements. We
specialise in non-standard and miniature tensiles, for very small
tensiles, we can offer Electron-Beam welding of end sections,
eliminates any HAZ damage to the gauge section.
Industry sectors: Aerospace, Chemical, Power generation, Nuclear
| | Tensile - Room Temp This
test is involves straining a test piece under controlled tensile
loading normally to destruction in order to determine a number of
mechanical properties, typically the properties preferred by the Client
include Yield/Proof Stress, Ultimate Tensile Strength, Percentage
Elongation and Percentage Reduction of Area. However, the type of
results obtained made be bespoken to the Client's own requirements.
Typically, the Laboratory performs tensile tests to European or
American test method specifications. With today's ever-increasing
awareness for quality and safety, the tensile testing of all various
forms of materials has become far more critical for construction,
manufacturing, aerospace and automotive industries. | | Tensile r and n Values Tensile
testing is a very common method of ensuring a product conforms to the
strength requirements of a specific application. Elongation and
reduction in area after testing are also commonly recorded to provide
basic information on the ductility of the material. However, with sheet
and strip products, further information on the formability is often
required.
The resistance to thinning is designated by the “r” value,
providing a measure of the drawability. This is calculated by recording
the reduction in width as well as the extension during the tensile
test, and taking the ration of strains in the width and thickness
directions. Typically three specimens are tested, parallel, normal, and
at 45 degrees to the primary rolling direction. These values are
averaged to give a constant for the material. When the r-value is
greater than 1, the strength normal to the sheet is greater than that
in the plane of the sheet, and as a result it resists thinning.
Similarly, the degree of stretchability can be measured by
calculating the “n” value or work-hardening exponent. This is
calculated by a mathematical relationship between stress and strain,
measured after the specimen has yielded.
