Fasteners, such as bolts, head screws, nuts, and studs, are a crucial element of any structure, as they provide strength, durability and structural integrity for holding other materials and components together.
Without appropriate testing to understand how they will perform in real-service conditions, there is an increased risk for health and safety, quality compliance, and even legal implications if fasteners were to fail.
"If expert verification is not conducted, we have products that cause catastrophic health and safety issues, and devastating environmental, human and economic impact."
We work with many fastener manufacturers, both nationally and globally, to provide fatigue testing on large bolts up to size M42 to verify if a customer’s product is fit for purpose.
Christophe Welzel, Quality Manager for Heinrich Jungeblodt says, “Compromising quality is not an option. Measurement and checking processes are essential for our production procedures, so we sub-contracted fatigue testing on our samples to Phoenix for additional verification and quality control checks.
It is crucial that we are very precise when checking the stress that our samples can withstand, and Phoenix worked with us to develop a contract review and testing programme that was suitable for our needs.
We were recommended to Phoenix by a mutual contact, as they had a great experience with their own similar testing needs.
We have found the service from Phoenix to be very communicative, they have kept us up to date with the progress of the tests and results, and overall, we have been very happy with our experience. We look forward to working with Phoenix again in the future.”
