Materials Testing 2017 promises to be the biggest and best exhibition to date, with over 70 exhibitors and a wide range of seminars covering the practical aspects of NDT and related technologies.

The biennial event is organised by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) and will run alongside its annual conference, NDT 2017, providing additional networking opportunities.

Paul Fidgeon, chairman of the organising committee, said: “The NDT sector is entering an exciting period of expansion. The challenge of testing ageing infrastructure in established markets, growing demand from emerging economies such as China, India and Brazil, the increasing complexity of equipment and greater emphasis on safety standards are all driving growth.
