Derby, England – Intertek, a leading quality solutions provider to industries worldwide, will be demonstrating
its expertise in non-destructive, materials and metallurgical testing and chemical analysis at the Engineering
Testing Show in Derby on 28 October 2014.
Experts from Intertek’s Derby-based laboratories will showcase their testing and inspection services at the
event and guest speaker Intertek’s NDT expert, Phil Morris, will present on “Non -Destructive Testing – what

used by industries such as aerospace and forgings, and immersion ultrasonic testing is applied to the discs
to detect any flaws and irregularities. Investment in this equipment further demonstrates Intertek’s
commitment to providing customers a complete service solution using state-of-the art technology.

and industrial sectors who share an interest in the practise of engineering testing. The show is staged at
