The laboratory has excellent facilities for both experimental and analytical test technique. All our tests can be done to international standards or with bespoke conditions. We offer tribological and mechanical testing and analysis from first concept to final product testing or validation. The laboratory is equipped with commercial and bespoke tribometers, contact and non-contract techniques for the characterisation of topographical properties, surface analytical and integrity techniques.
