Core construction material testing for industry applications in aerospace, automotive, building, energy, and other industries involved in composite materials
Sandwich and core constructions are widely used in applications requiring superior weight to strength ratios.
Our experts produce fast and accurate data for core materials used in a variety of industries and applications such as aerospace and automotive components or wind turbine blades. The data provided by Intertek assists material engineers in material selection in applications across global markets. Intertek provides strength measurements including compression, tensile, shear and flexural data.
Core constituent property tests performed include density, thickness and water absorption.
