Metrology plays a crucial role in the manufacturing and quality control of composite materials. From defect detection to process optimisation, advanced metrology techniques ensure composite manufactures produce high quality, safe and reliable components.
As advanced composite materials continue to revolutionise industries including aerospace, automotive, marine, energy, construction and defence, new emerging materials must be thoroughly tested before they move to market. In our role as the UK’s National Metrology Institute (NMI), we establish validated test methods and internationally recognised measurement standards to facilitate innovation and address industry needs.
For our next Manufacturer Measurement Network (MMN) event, we are hosting a lunchtime webinar to delve deep into the metrology of composite materials.
The webinar will cover the National Physical Laboratory’s (NPL) general composite materials testing capabilities with a focus on measurements for recycled composites and carbon fibres, mechanical property measurements at cryogenic temperatures and high strain rate testing.
Agenda
12:30 | Stefanos Giannis, NPL – Introduction to Advanced Engineering Materials at NPL
12:40 | Jonathan Wilkins, Enoflex – Novel composite materials measurements withing an Analysis for Innovators (A4I) project
12:55 | Nassos Spetsieris, NPL – Mechanical property measurements at cryogenic temperatures for liquid hydrogen applications
13:10 | Jamin Vincent, NPL – Measurements for recycled composites and carbon fibres
13:25 | Matt Poole, NPL – Testing at high strain Rates for composite materials properties relevant to crashworthiness
13:40 | Open discussion
