Key facts
- Cardiff laboratory
- The current contact page publishes Forest Farm Industrial Estate, Longwood Drive, Coryton, Cardiff, CF14 7HY, United Kingdom. The dated schedule identifies Longwood Drive, Forest Farm, Cardiff, Wales, CF14 7HY as location A.
- Current information route
- Use +44 (0)2920 540 000 or the official enquiry form to discuss materials testing and engineering services.
- Separate location allocations
- Cardiff is location A. Suitable customer premises for the listed permanent-joining inspection and NDT activities are code B. Leeds, code C, is separately allocated wastewater microbiological testing. This guide does not transfer those Leeds tests to Cardiff.
Testing capabilities
Cardiff ambient tensile testing
At location A, the dated scope lists tensile testing at ambient temperature with forces up to 500 kN, using BS EN ISO 6892-1 Method B and ASTM A370. The row does not print method editions or a lower force limit. Confirm the applicable controlled method.
Cardiff Vickers hardness testing
The location A entry lists Vickers hardness under the HV10 condition to BS EN ISO 6507-1. No other hardness scale or unprinted standard edition is inferred.
Cardiff Charpy V-notch impact testing
At location A, Charpy V-notch impact testing is listed at -196°C and separately from -80°C to ambient under BS EN ISO 148-1. These conditions do not establish a continuous range from -196°C to ambient.
Cardiff weldment examination to specified codes
The location A weldment entry covers bend, fracture, hardness, tensile, Charpy and macro examination in accordance with specified welding codes. References include BS 4872-1 and -2, BS EN ISO 9606-1 and -2, BS EN ISO 15614-1 and -2, BS EN ISO 17639 and ASME IX. Confirm the required code and edition. This is not unrestricted welding certification.
Cardiff stainless-steel pitting corrosion
At location A, stainless-steel pitting-corrosion testing is listed to ASTM G48 Method A. The material and method boundary is retained. Confirm the applicable controlled edition and test condition.
Ultrasonic and phased-array testing at A and B
Ultrasonic flaw detection and thickness measurement are listed at A and B for the stated light and dense metals and alloys, castings, weldments, forgings, components, structures and composite materials. References include BS EN ISO 17635, BS EN ISO 17640, ISO 16809:2019, ISO 16810:2014 and ASME V Articles 4 and 5. Phased-array ultrasonic testing is separately listed to BS EN ISO 13588.
Liquid penetrant inspection at A and B
Colour-contrast and fluorescent liquid penetrant inspection is listed at A and B to BS EN ISO 3452-1, ASME V Article 6 and RRP 58003. The schedule lists fixed penetrant-line and portable equipment. Confirm the required inspection and location.
Radiography at A and B
The radiography entries at A and B list X-rays at no more than 450 kV and gamma rays using iridium-192 below 27 Ci. References are BS EN ISO 17636-1, ASME V Article 2 and RRP 58006. These are source or equipment conditions, not specimen-dimension limits.
Magnetic particle inspection at A and B
For ferromagnetic materials, the A and B entry lists inspection using permanent and electrically induced magnetism under BS EN ISO 17638, BS EN ISO 9934 Part 1 and ASME V Article 7. Confirm the material and required inspection technique.
Weld eddy-current and visual examination at A and B
For weldments only, eddy-current testing by complex-plane analysis using portable flaw detectors is listed at A and B under BS EN ISO 15549, ISO 17643:2015 and ASME V Article 8. Visual examination of welds is listed under BS EN 13018, BS EN ISO 17637 and ASME V Article 9 at A and B.
Equipment and published limits
| Specification | Published value | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Cardiff tensile condition | Ambient temperature, forces up to 500 kN | Location A, BS EN ISO 6892-1 Method B and ASTM A370. No lower force limit or specimen-size rating is published in this row. |
| Cardiff Charpy temperature conditions | -196°C and -80°C to ambient | Two separate conditions at A under BS EN ISO 148-1. No continuous range between -196°C and -80°C is inferred. |
| Cardiff Vickers condition | HV10 | Location A, BS EN ISO 6507-1. This does not establish other hardness scales or a machine-capacity rating. |
| Radiography source conditions at A and B | X-ray ≤450 kV, iridium-192 <27 Ci | Method-specific source or equipment conditions. Confirm the technique, location and inspected article directly. |
