Materials Testing and Analysis
Independent testing of materials and products has a role to play at every stage, from testing whether components are fit for purpose, through condition assessment to ensure they are performing as expected, to forensic analysis to understand why they have failed. EA Technology Analytical offers a wide range of sophisticated materials testing services, using state of the art facilities and highly experienced staff, including:
- High voltage testing capabilities
- Mechanical testing resources
- Temperature and humidity controlled environmental chambers
- Chemical analysis, both organic and inorganic
- Surface and structural analysis by scanning electron and optical microscopes
- Failure analysis
EA Technology’s state of the art analytical equipment is backed by a highly trained and experienced team who collect and interpret the data. With over 40 years at the cutting edge of the industry, we have unrivalled expertise in the field.
EA Technology materials testing uses a variety of techniques, including optical microscopy and image analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray analysis, mechanical testing and environmental analysis.
We can also create bespoke projects to test the performance of materials and components under simulated service conditions, such as sulphur rich environments or extreme temperatures. These tests can often provide vital clues in failure and forensic investigations.
