Testing
Cti have extensive knowledge of the testing of metals and their alloys. A wide range of specialised testing equipment with no ‘standard’ workload allows for flexibility particularly suited to specialist testing.
Some of the more standard test methods are covered by our UKAS accreditation, with the remainder carrying the companies BSi approval. For Cti's full UKAS Schedule of Accreditation, click here. An outline of our ‘standard’ testing facilities can be seen below:
