And this is where we can all play our part by choosing to buy British and throw a lifeline to British industry. We all have a choice where we spend our money and invest, so we all have a voice. But will yours shout up and support Great British Industry?

Are you ready for your weld test ?

These weld test plates are production samples welded at the same time as the pressure vessel seam is welded.The test pieces are cut out and systematically destroyed using some highly imaginative techniques, We mostly we bend them…

HSE report on Failed Air Receivers ( not Abbotts !)

10 air receivers were tested and 10 air receivers failed. There are massive savings (and PROFITS) to be made by reducing the shell of an air receiver by 1mm. The 25% savings by taking 1mm off a 4mm thick Air Receiver is massive, and so is…
