About WMT&R UK

UK's Largest Independent Mechanical Testing Facility

Proudly hosting the largest independent Mechanical Testing facility in Europe, our extensive scope, unmatched capacity and materials testing capabilities encompass High Cycle Fatigue, Strain Controlled Low Cycle Fatigue, Fracture Toughness, Crack Propagation, Creep and Stress Rupture, and Tensile Testing. All test specimens are machined in-house using CNC Lathes, Mills, and Cylindrical grinding and notching equipment.

Our Chemical Analysis testing, Corrosion testing, and Metallurgical testing laboratories are situated in a modern, purpose-built facility. We hold unique approvals within the UK and Europe for Stress Corrosion, along with approval from General Electric for grain size determination. Our Chemical analysis includes Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES), Inductively Coupled Plasma-OES (ICP-OES), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS), and Gas Analysis.
