Mechanical Engineering  and Testing

To assess if mechanical properties in materials used in construction and fabrication of plant, machines or machine parts are high enough for intended application. These are also the basis of determining causes of failure in failure investigations. 

Tensile tests Bend tests Hardness tests Nick break tests Macro examination tests Impact tests Fire extinguishers testing Wire tests Failure investigation for industrial equipment and motor vehicle components

Calibration

Traceable standards available for mass, length, temperature and volume are used to determine the accuracy of monitoring and measuring devices as well as containers.

Services offered in the calibration of:

• Pressure and temperature gauges

• Verniers

• Tanks and other smaller containers

• Weights

• Dip sticks

• Tapes and rulers

Civil Engineering

Quality tests are conducted on the following:

• Brick and concrete blocks

• Lintels, channels and kerbs

• Concrete products

• Paving slabs

• Soil grading, organic content and density tests

• Roofing tiles

• Buildings: rain penetration, impact and purlin anchorage tests
