Free CD-Rom for students and small businesses covers methods and applications of materials testing with interactive working demonstrations
Ametek Lloyd Instruments has now launched an interactive educational CD-Rom on the methods and applications of materials testing.
Aimed at students, small enterprises or those wishing to update current knowledge, the Materials Testing Interactive Training Tool is designed to promote the benefits of materials testing, show how tests are set-up and demonstrate industry applications.
With this tool, users can interact with text and images, follow detailed explanations of material characterisations and see working demonstrationss and video clips from experts in the field.
Virtual rooms feature Ametek Lloyd Instruments latest materials testing equipment and software ready to perform specific tests.
One of the case studies, held in a 'virtual design room', demonstrates the properties of draftproofing materials, used for sealing windows in double glazing frames.
Furthermore, the end of every section tests knowledge and skills acquired.
The Materials Testing Interactive Training Tool has been developed in conjunction with Exeter Advanced Technologies at the University of Exeter in a project part funded by the European Social Fund.
Currently free of charge, it is available by contacting Ametek Lloyd Instruments through a link on its newly redesigned web-site (see above) This venture presents Ametek Lloyd Instruments with a unique opportunity to demonstrate the company's current testing equipment to new and future markets and sources there believe no other materials testing company currently offers this capability. Exeter Advanced Technologies (formally the Polymer Centre) was originally established with UK and European Government support to provide an academic based service to industry.
Through its partnership with Ametek Lloyd Instruments, students benefit from seeing the very latest materials testing equipment in action to help with course programmes and commerce benefits from established links with academic expertise in materials science and engineering.
