Development

MJ Metriza designs and builds equipment for inspection and testing. Each machine is developed from the client's specific requirements and the international standards that apply to the test.

In this field we also partner with organisations across very different sectors.

Triaxial testing press for rock materials

PartnerInstituto Superior Técnico, Department of Mining and Metallurgy

This project studies how rock specimens behave under loads that simulate natural conditions.

In addition to the axial load applied by the press, the specimen sits inside a chamber that applies load in the remaining directions through hydraulic pressure.

The control software is used to program the test and collect, in real time, all the data on the loads and deformations recorded in the specimen.

Suture testing device

PartnerInfarmed

Infarmed, Portugal's medicines and health products authority, carries out tests for the approval of medical devices. As part of this work it partnered with MJ Metriza to build a suture testing device.

The device measures suture thickness at several points along its length while the suture is held under a constant tensile force.

Contact pressure comes from a constant-force mechanism built into the digital indicator.

The logging software sends thickness values directly to Microsoft Excel, making the data easy to process.

Thickness inspection tables for cork boards

PartnerCorticeira Amorim, Amorim Cork Flooring

We partner with companies in a range of industries. One example is the inspection equipment built for the flooring division of Corticeira Amorim, which produces cork boards for thermal and acoustic insulation in construction.

Thickness is one of the critical properties of this product. Standards require it to be measured at three positions across the width and at several positions along the length.

MJ Metriza developed thickness inspection tables that comply with the applicable standards and are simple and precise to use. The software transfers the data to the SAP system.
