Custom Testing Solutions

In addition to providing testing according to recognized industry standards such as ISO and ASTM, Element has years of experience in developing custom test methods and equipment based around clients' project requirements.

Element’s Engaged Experts are able to develop custom test methods and equipment when standard test methods are not available, or when clients wish to explore material performance limits, accommodate particularly severe operating conditions, or investigate new materials and new equipment design.

Combining industry experience with state-of the-art-laboratories and a diverse range of equipment, Element tailors bespoke testing programs around your needs whilst adopting a flexible approach to meeting requests, even for the most challenging projects.

Our capabilities include:

  • The design, fabrication, and commissioning of test rigs and fixtures
  • The use of DAQ software for instrumentation: measurement of pressure, temperature, stress, strain, load, and displacement
  • The use of machine control software: control of temperature, pressure, displacement, actuation devices
  • Image processing software: fracture surface analysis, dimensional change
  • New operating procedure development
  • Consultancy
