Nano Test Xtreme


The NanoTest Xtreme is a nanomechanical Testing Centre that’s optimised for investigating the effects of xtreme environments, including:
  • • High temperatures for aerospace engine components
  • • Irradiation effects in nuclear reactor cladding
  • • Tool coatings for high speed machining
  • • The effect of cold on weld repairs in oil/gas pipelines
  • • High temperatures for power station steam pipes
Test temperatures from -100 to 1000 ºC

Until recently, the limitations of these have been oxidation at high temperatures and condensation/frosting at sub-zero temperatures. Testing under vacuum with NanoTest Xtreme negates these and allows further expansion of the temperature capabilities of the NanoTest.
