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.
