Thermal Conductivity Test
Thermal conductivity ('k value') is a property of a material that determines how much heat is conducted through it for a given temperature difference
Fatigue Test Machines
There are a wide range of mechanical testing machines used to test the fatigue for a wide range of different materials within the engineering department. The machines are suitable for a wide range of applications, whether for testing the material or component.
Infinite Focus Microscope (IFM)
The Infinite Focus Microscope (IFM) is a rapid non contact optical 3D measurement device, which combines the low depth of field of an optical microscope with vertical scanning, traversing across the surface of the sample, to provide high resolution and high depth of field topographical images with a large field of view
Contact Angle Measurement
The contact angle is the angle which is formed at the three-phase interface between a solid, a liquid drop and air or another gas. Such measurements can be used to determine wettability, which provides an indication of how effectively a liquid will spread over a surface.
Organic Coatings (Paint)
Good corrosion resistance is frequently a requirement of paint coatings. In addition to the structural damage which will result from under film corrosion, the highly visible nature of many applications, for example, car bodies, makes corrosion an aesthetic problem too
High Performance Computing - Beowulf Cluster
High performance computing clusters are used to solve advanced analytical, numerical and computational problems. Uses for high performance range from data storage and analysis, simulations, modelling, data mining, software development and fast mathematical calculations
