The test-house radiographic section housestwo 4x4 metre chambers
equipped tohandle both X and Gamma-Ray
radiography. The facility provides a high-quality inspection
service covering a widerange of components, from electronic chipsto
heavy-wall castings up to 3 thick.
Material Measurements has an established
reputation for providing a consistently highstandard of service
in the non-destructivetesting of cast components.

Together with a full library ofreference radiographs and
anin-depth knowledge of allrelevant national andinternational

Material Measurementsprovides definitive standardsof service

critical applications
Our radiographic chambers areequipped with 160kV dual-focus,
constant potential X-ray units whichenable very high levels of
sensitivityto be obtained and provide the meansto examine small
components such as
integrated circuits and miniaturised semiconductors. Beingable
to work on this scale has enabled us to provide aservice to the
electrical and electronic manufacturingindustries that has proved
very successful in identifying
and resolving pre-production and manufacturing defects,thus
saving time and resources.
Material Measurements has accrued expert knowledge throughits
frequent involvement in large-scale radiographicexaminations for
all sectors of industry but in particularaviation, with which it
shares a close working relationship. The
companys expertise has been used in many different ways,from
forensic testing of criminal evidence to analysis ofcomponents for
air-crash investigators.

Our forward-looking investment in X-ray equipment and technology
has placed us atthe forefront of radiographic testing and analysis.
This has particular relevance to
aerospace manufacturing where new materials and production
processes require thatwe keep pace with the demandsimposed by
progress within theindustry. Our inspectionfacilities can handle a
wide
range of components and sub-assemblies and we are proud ofour
association with thedevelopment of some of the
worlds most successful civiland military aircraft.

Although the radiographic inspection of final machined
components is seldomrequired we have been involved with the
detection of braze material trapped withincomposite assemblies in
such diverse applications as the cooling systems of space-
flight vehicles to machined forgings used by a number of leading
motor-racing teams.
By a gradual process ofrecommendation, our reputationin the
manufacturing industry hasspread to other walks of life andwe are
now acknowledged as oneof the leading exponents of
special-effect radiography foradvertising and
marketinggraphics.
We are also becoming well-known amongst the keepers ofthe
nations heritage as a result ofthe growing demand for our kid-
glove service to museums and artgalleries wishing to probe
theinnermost secrets of theirpriceless treasures.
