Mechanical Testing
To support both consultancy and research projects, TWI has a mechanical testing capability.

Fatigue Testing
  • S-N curve measurements and components for joining
  • S-N curve measurements for pipelines using resonance testing
  • Crack growth rate and threshold determination in air, aqueous and sour environments
Fracture Testing
  • Fracture mechanics parameters - CTOD, J, KIC, R-curve
  • Specialist tests - Battelle, Pellini
  • Wells wide plate tests
Large Scale Tests
  • Pipe and vessel burst tests
  • Biaxial loading tests
  • Pipe bending tests
Routine Tests
  • Charpy, Hardness, Tensile
Custom Tests
  • Custom test facilities can be built to replicate many combinations of component geometry, loading conditions, environmental conditions and failure parameters.
