A structured approach to component testingComponent and structural testing often sits at the interface between design intent and real-world performance. We can run proof, overload and performance tests on components and assemblies, including bespoke fixtures
|
How a typical testing project runs
|
1) Scope
Define objective, loads, standards and acceptance criteria.
|
2) Plan
Agree fixtures, instrumentation and test method / sequence.
|
3) Execute
Run testing with traceability, calibration and documented steps.
|
4) Report
Provide results, observations and practical conclusions.
|
Project types we support
|
Proof & overload testing
Verification against defined loads and acceptance criteria for sign-off and quality assurance.
|
Performance and durability testing
Testing to assess performance across realistic load cases and service conditions.
|
|
Bespoke rig development
Fixtures and setups designed around your component geometry and measurement needs.
|
Investigation and validation programmes
Support for investigations where real-world loading and behaviour must be demonstrated.
|
Typical industries & examples
