Delivering confidence in the performance of materials
How materials perform is critical to the success of new and/or improved products. Industry need certainty of materials properties, knowing that they function in the way they were designed and in potentially extreme conditions. Our experts can provide trust in the safety and reliability of these materials, allowing industry to innovate with confidence.
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is the UK's National Metrology Institute (NMI), developing and maintaining the national primary measurement standards, as well as collaborating with other NMIs to maintain the international system of measurement.
NPL have the capabilities, equipment and experience to provide customers with the most accurate and authoritative materials measurements in the UK. Our world experts in complementary disciplines are available to help clarify requirements, interpret results and solve problems for customers. We can provide detailed, independent analysis to accelerate development, increase both the performance and quality of products and identify the root cause for any failures in materials, products or structures.
NPL also has unique measurement capabilities, research facilities and international expertise for supporting many UK industries, such as semiconductors, batteries and companies developing more sustainable materials, including electrical, magnetic, optical, chemical, structural, thermal, and dimensional measurement properties.
We can help to accelerate the adoption of new and advanced materials
The Advanced Materials Show is co-located with the Advanced Ceramics Show, Battery Cells & Systems Expo and Vehicle Electrification Expo again this year. Come find us on stand 931 to find out more about the comprehensive suite of tests, analysis and consultancy support we offer to help customers understand the processing and performance behaviour of materials through their full life cycle.
