Research and Development

We have a wide range of calibrated measuring equipment and many years of experience in making accurate and meaningful measurements and helping customers interpret the information.

We have carried out a number of projects for government bodies and industry which involve various aspects of scientific research such as: 

• Setting up test rigs to measure the performance of equipment.
• Locating and summarising relevant scientific literature.
• Analysing data and presenting it in easy-to-understand ways.
• Carrying out statistical analysis.
• Creating computer models to help understand and predict the behaviour of systems under test.

If you have a specific query or require more information, please contact us to discuss your needs.

Here are some publicly available examples of work we have done:
