Better measurements contribute to the design, development and characterisation of materials and allow businesses to understand how systems operate under extreme environments. The definition of harsh environments vary from sector to sector, but those environments which are corrosive, abrasive, subject to high temperature, pressure, contamination, or any combinations of these factors are considered to be harsh environments.

There is an increasing demand for improvements in material performance under harsh environments. With current conventional materials being pushed ever closer to their limits, there is a greater need for accurate measurement and characterisation of materials under such conditions. Measurement technologies and system s that will enable accuracy, repeatability and reliability are vital to meeting the growing challenges posed by harsh environments.

The event will discuss the following key technical areas:

• Temperature measurement
• Combustion monitoring
• Corrosion: Down-hole and Fireside
• Refractory liners
• Mechanical properties such as creep, welds and modelling
• Thermal protection systems
• Erosion/wear

Who should attend?

This event will bring together academia, industry and the related supply chain from the following key sectors:

• Oil & Gas
• Power Generation
• Manufacturing
• NDT/NDE/ Test houses
• Instrumentation manufacturers and suppliers
