Testing capabilities
Current UKAS-listed mechanical, corrosion and metallurgical entries
UKAS Schedule 4199 lists defined tensile, Brinell and Vickers hardness, Charpy V-notch impact and ambient Izod entries for stated carbon, stainless and duplex stainless steels. It also lists stated stainless-steel pitting and intergranular corrosion entries, duplex stainless-steel ferrite-count and grain-size metallurgical entries, and specified welding-code testing for weldments, steels and aluminium alloys, expressly excluding non-destructive testing. The listed testing is performed at the Washington address only and remains subject to the schedule’s stated materials, methods, standards, forces, temperature boundaries and exclusions.
Equipment and published limits
| Specification | Published value | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Selected current UKAS Schedule 4199 boundaries | The schedule lists ambient tensile testing from 0.25 kN to 500 kN for stated carbon, stainless and duplex stainless steels. It lists Charpy V-notch impact from −101 °C to ambient and at −196 °C, including lateral expansion and percentage shear. The defined corrosion entries are ASTM G48-25 Method A pitting corrosion and ASTM A262-15 (2021) Method E or ASTM G28-24 Method A intergranular corrosion for stainless steels. The welding-code entry explicitly excludes non-destructive testing. | This is a selected summary of current Schedule 4199 entries, rather than a complete equipment inventory or unrestricted capability claim. Confirm the exact material, weldment, test, method and edition, range, sample requirements, reporting, availability and terms directly with IPB Mechanical Testing. |
