Metallography Testing Services

Here at RMRs laboratory facility, our metallography and metal testing services are designed to provide you with in-depth insights into the microscopic and macroscopic properties of your materials. 

Our qualified and experience metallurgists provide a wide range of testing activities to internationally recognise standards such as BS EN ISO / ASTM and API. 

Our equipment includes a Motic BA 310 met optical microscope (magnification up to x1200) with image capturing and measuring software linked to our bespoke computer system, allowing us to create reports with photographic records to satisfy the most stringent specification.

In addition we have a full range of sectioning, grinding and polishing equipment for sample preparation.
