Metalcraft manufacture equipment for some of the world's most hazardous and dangerous environments. We manufacture pressure vessels, vacuum vessels and cryogenic vessels for safety critical applications across all sectors of industry including medical, research, big science, power generation, nuclear, oil & gas, petrochemical, water and a number of other industries as indicated within our website.
The pressure vessels which we manufacture at our UK site can be internally loaded pressure vessels or externally loaded pressure vessels dependent upon the operational requirements. We supply pressure vessels into a range of markets indicated with the website, the pressure vessels can be manufactured in a range of materials from basic carbon steels, through to high tensile steels, stainless steel, exotic alloys, high nickel alloys and aluminium. We can manufacture to a wide range of pressure vessel standards, including PD5500, ASME, AD Merkblatt, CODAP, Stoomwezen, EN 13445, etc.
Metalcraft have been manufacturing pressure vessels on our UK site for over 100 years and during this time have developed a wealth of knowledge and experience on the manufacturing techniques necessary to effectively and efficiently produce pressure vessels to the highest standards required by the sectors we serve. In addition to the pressure vessels we manufacture, we also manufacture vacuum vessels and cryogenic vessels using a number of similar techniques required for pressure vessel manufacture. The vacuum vessels and cryogenic vessels we produce are generally fabricated and machined in order to achieve the required vacuum leak tightness.
Metalcraft have the necessary fabrication and machining capabilities in house to ensure that the vacuum vessels and cryogenic vessels we manufacture comply with customers requirements and can demonstrate those requirements by vacuum testing the vacuum vessels and cryogenic vessels in house. We have manufactured vacuum vessels and cryogenic vessels in a wide range of materials, from carbon steels, stainless steels and aluminium.In excess of 40,000 pressure vessels, vacuum vessels and cryogenic vessels have been manufactured by Metalcraft to date and we believe that Metalcraft are the premier manufacturer of medium to large pressure vessels, vacuum vessels and cryogenic vessels in Europe, if not the world.

The SURAGUS GmbH develops, manufactures and sells eddy current-based testing technology for innovative testing tasks. The company uses new technological opportunities due to advances in signal processing, the availability of more powerful computing technologies and possibilities of new manufacturing and miniaturization methods. Applications are amongst others quality control of structured and unstructured functional layers, quality assurance of carbon fiber materials and classic conductive materials. The company is a spin-off and licensees of the Fraunhofer IKTS Dresden.
The eddy current method utilizes local conductivity variations of the test objects for the characterization of correlated quality characteristics such as thickness, conductivity, homogeneity and purity or physical changes. The complex eddy current signal contains various information about the test object which can be separated in many cases with simple or complex algorithms. Our eddy current testing technology is based on a powerful eddy current electronics with a frequency range from 10 kHz to 100 MHz, which is combined with different sensor concepts depending on the application.
Primary advantages:
Contact-free
Fast (EddyCus Systems measure at a rate of 50.000 measurements per second)
Suitable for automation
Broad portfolio of sensors for different applications
Applications include:
Contactless Conductivity measurement of functional thin films (e.g. TCOs, CNTs, Metallization, Silver-Nanowire)
Non-contact Orientation testing and flaw detection for Carbon fiber composites (undulations, Impacts, gases, thrust faults)
Contactless weight determination in many carbon fiber materials
Determination of gradients of super-alloys
Layer thickness measurement of thin films and coatings from 5 nm thickness
Mapping for errors in conductive layer system (cracks, voids, delaminations, etc.)
