Tensile testing of butt fusion and electrofusion joints

24–48hoursTensile test results from our temperature-controlled laboratory.

With our temperature-controlled laboratory and streamlined sample preparation, we deliver tensile test results for butt fusion and electrofusion joints within 24–48 hours. Clear, timely results help minimise project downtime, so you can make informed decisions and keep your project moving.

Requirement
The water industry specification WIS requires the frequency and type of inspection to be agreed with the client at the start of each contract, including evaluation of site joints, both electrofusion and butt fusion.
Standard
No butt fusion or electrofusion joint may fail in a brittle manner. Our tests assess joint performance, on construction sites and in manufacturing facilities alike.
Reporting
Quantitative results, graphical data and expert interpretation, for routine quality assurance or failure investigation.

100+ tensile tests carried out so far in 2026

You know your workmanship is excellent. Why not have the test results to prove it?

Pressure test analysis

Formal analysis of Type 2 hydrostatic pressure tests, so recorded test data is accurately assessed and interpreted in accordance with the applicable standards and testing procedures.

Why
Greater confidence in test results for engineers, contractors and asset owners, and evidence of the integrity of newly installed pipelines.
How
We convert recorded pressure and time data into clear, structured results: consistent calculations, detailed results and a documented record of the analysis.
Outcome
Reduced risk of human error and traceable evidence for quality assurance, commissioning and project handover.
