MT 2024 is FREE of charge for visitors, who will benefit not only from a concentration of materials testing innovation and excellence but also from an enhanced programme of talks and seminars in the exhibition hall, covering practical aspects of non-destructive testing (NDT) and related technologies.
Materials Testing takes place once every two years and is recognised as one of the leading international exhibitions for the NDT, condition monitoring (CM), structural health monitoring (SHM), diagnostic engineering and quality testing industries. More than 70 exhibitors have now reserved their stands at the show. To see the current list of exhibitors, visit: https://www.bindt.org/events-and-awards/materials-testing-2024/exhibitors/
MT 2024 is an ideal opportunity for visitors to see innovations not only from the UK but also from countries including Japan, North America, France, Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic. With inspection technologies constantly advancing, it is a good way to check if your business can benefit from the latest techniques.
The event is organised by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) and will run alongside BINDT’s annual conference, NDT 2024, providing additional networking opportunities.
Pre-register online for FREE to receive a fast-track QR code that will be emailed direct to you in advance of the show to enable you swift entry on the day. For further information and details about how to register, visit: https://www.bindt.org/events-and-awards/materials-testing-2024/registration/
This prestigious event will once again prove attractive to visitors, with easy access across the UK. Telford is less than an hour and a half from three international airports and is only five minutes away from the UK rail and motorway networks.
We look forward to seeing you at Materials Testing 2024!
About BINDT
The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) is a UK-based professional engineering institution working to promote the advancement of the science and practice of non-destructive testing (NDT), condition monitoring (CM), diagnostic engineering and all other materials and quality testing disciplines. Internationally recognised, it is concerned with the education, training and certification of its members and all those engaged in NDT and CM and through its publications and annual conferences and events it disseminates news of the latest advances in the science and practice of the subjects.

What are NDT and CM?
Non-destructive testing is the branch of engineering concerned with all methods of detecting and evaluating flaws in materials. Flaws can affect the serviceability of a material or structure, so NDT is important in guaranteeing safe operation as well as in quality control and assessing plant life. The flaws may be cracks or inclusions in welds and castings or variations in structural properties, which can lead to a loss of strength
or failure in service. The essential feature of NDT is that the test process itself produces no deleterious effects on the material or structure under test. The subject of NDT has no clearly defined boundaries; it ranges from simple techniques such as the visual examination of surfaces, through the well-established methods of radiography, ultrasonic testing and magnetic particle crack detection, to new and very specialised methods such as the measurement of Barkhausen noise and positron annihilation spectroscopy.
Condition monitoring (CM) aims to ensure plant efficiency, productivity and reliability by monitoring and analysing the wear of operating machinery and components to provide an early warning of impending failure, thereby reducing costly plant shutdown. Condition monitoring originally used mainly vibration and tribology analysis techniques but now encompasses new fields such as thermal imaging, acoustic emission and other non-destructive techniques. The diagnostic and prognostic elements, in addition to increasingly sophisticated signal processing, use trends from repeated measurements in time intervals of days and weeks.
