With more than 100 years of experience developing market leading aerospace and power system technology, we have assembled a world-class portfolio of testing capabilities for: Mechanical and Fire Testing, Thermal Paint, Instrumentation and Electronic Ground Support Equipment (EGSE)
We offer these capabilities to help businesses of all sizes and industries reach their full potential.
Collaborate with us
From industry standard material testing to unique thermal paints, we can offer a tailored solution to meet your business needs.
We will work to understand your requirements, challenges, and vision, creating a bespoke plan to enable your success.
Our world-class facility can mimic your unique environmental and boundary testing conditions.
Our Mechanical Test Operations Centre (MTOC) based in Germany, specialises in testing and evaluating mechanical components used in high-performance applications.
This world-class facility has a hugely varied capability to deliver test operations, including mechanical and materials testing. It is equipped with a large range of high-tech testing rigs that can mimic your unique environmental and boundary conditions.
Our team of expert engineers and technicians can support your testing requirements to help deliver your customised testing plan, remaining on hand to support with their expert analysis and interpretation of the resulting data.
Use our expertise in fire resistance and proofness testing; with operating fuel, oil and pneumatic systems.
Our Fire Test Facility based in Solihull, UK, specialises in Fire Resistance and Proofness tests of operating fuel, oil and pneumatic systems.
A wide variety of testing can be performed with a Kerosene Burner to multiple standards, including: CS-E 130, AC20-135, ISO2685 and RRES9002.
Our Fire Test Facility has an integrated Motor Drive System to facilitate testing with an operational pump and a Fuel System Rig, enabling testing to be completed at representative functional conditions.
Portable modules can be added to the facility to enable testing using oil, static compressed air, low flow air and vacuum. Our facility is also configurable to test dry/static components including electronics components.
Our team of experienced experts can support your testing requirement to help deliver you a customised test solution, including: test planning, test requirements definition, test execution and reporting.
We can provide you rapid visual evidence of peak temperatures and isothermal distributions.
Temperature indicating paints are a time dependant measurement technique with the ability to provide rapid visual evidence of peak temperatures and isothermal distributions.
Temperatures are indicated by colour changes and/or surface texture, which are brought about by irreversible chemical reactions that occur at one or more distinct temperatures (change points). Thermal paints can provide temperature distributions for component surfaces that are impractical to obtain, for example: aero engine turbine blades, vanes, segments, combustors and rotating components within harsh environments.
Our thermal paints are manufactured in-house to our own unique specifications and high-quality standards. Our team of experts have decades of experience, and can help you identify the most appropriate options to deliver your specific needs.
Our Thermal Paint department also manufacture High Emissivity paints and High Temperature Strain Gauge cement. Emissivity paints are used to improve the accuracy of thermal camera / pyrometer measurements by providing a constant emissivity values. The strain gauge cement is used to bond strain gauges and instrumentation in high temperature applications.
With over 30 years of instrumentation installation and application experience, see what our global team can do for you.
Our highly-skilled technicians work closely with internal and external clients to ensure all aspects of our capabilities are delivered to the highest quality standards and according to long-term proven processes.
See below our core installation and application services for all types of complex components, which are available to purchase:
