R-TECH Materials is a global provider of materials expertise, offering specialist testing and consultancy services across a wide range of industries. We operate a UKAS-accredited laboratory for the testing of metals, polymers, composites, and water fittings. Our dedicated Water Fittings lab delivers a comprehensive range of approval services, including WRAS and Regulation 4 (REG4) testing.
Beyond laboratory testing, our team of experienced engineers and scientists provides expert guidance across the entire materials lifecycle — from materials selection and manufacturing through to failure analysis and long-term performance optimisation. Our expertise ranges from solving routine material challenges to acting as expert witnesses in complex investigations.
Our clients include some of the most prestigious accreditation and certification bodies in the UK and Europe as well as leading companies in the advanced materials and manufacturing sector. We receive materials from across the world for testing, consultancy or R&D projects from sectors such as aerospace, automotive, construction, marine, oil and gas and petrochemical.
In addition, R-TECH offers a series of specialised training courses, each backed by thousands of real-world case studies. These courses focus on failure mechanisms in specific industries and materials systems, providing insight through practical, case-based learning.
We are currently expanding our training portfolio with a new course focused on plumbing fitting failures. This course will address the most commonly observed failure mechanisms within the industry, drawing on our unique combination of water fittings testing expertise and materials consultancy. Using real-world examples, the course will provide hands-on, practical knowledge to support better understanding and prevention of failures.
