My company provides services and products to help engineers get the most out of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and simulation.

With the significant experience I have in the use of dynamic simulation to develop and optimise Fluid Power systems in automotive, aerospace and motorsport industries, CAE Tech Ltd has captured this knowledge in a set of software tools specifically aimed at engineers in the Fluid Power industry, linking design, component-selection, simulation, safety and reliability analysis, and manufacturing and maintenance.

CAE Tech’s services aim to improve engineering processes as well as products, and by reviewing the tools and processes used in a company or project I can advise on best practises and improvements that will help add simulation to the process or give the maximum benefit where it is used.

Please call me on 07779 306689 for a private consultation.

After many years working in the practical application of hydraulics in industry I can offer the benefits of my experience to help sustain this fascinating branch of engineering – from circuit design, component specification and supply, to manufacturing, testing and commissioning.

I have hands on experience in mining, quarrying, minerals processing and materials re-cycling with emphasis on reliability in hostile environments. Together with steel and non ferrous process lines, foundries and board mills, I include municipal vehicles, mechanical handling, access and marine equipment within that experience.

From organising mini D.C. to 500kw diesel power packs with associated manufacture and electrical control, to trouble shooting, reliability and maintenance proposals, I will be pleased to assist with whatever you require, I’m even prepared for oily hands if necessary.

Polymeric Material Failure Consultants Limited provides a non-metallic material and component failure analysis service. The company was established in May 2019 following a 37 year career in material and component testing that took me to my role as primary UK contact for non-metallic failure analysis with my previous employer (www.linkedin.com/in/philipclarkefailureanalysis).

My experience is mainly in the Oil & Gas sector where loss of fluid containment resulting from the functional failure of polymeric and elastomeric soft goods presents operational, health and safety and environmental hazards.

Examples of surface and subsea hardware types that I have studied include;

• Pumps (PCP, metering, ESP, diaphragm, reciprocating)
• Valves and actuators (solenoid, butterfly, BV, PRV, PCV, pilot, gate, check)
• Hoses (umbilical’s, choke/kill, control lines, bulk transfer, chemical injection, blasting)
• Heat exchangers
• Filters
• Blow out preventers
• Platform tensioners
• Pipe handlers
• Compressors
• Wireline tools
• Accumulators and pulsation dampeners
• Bend stiffeners
• Liner/casing hangers
• Riser boost lines
• Gaskets
• Bursting discs
• Bridle webbing
• UPS batteries

Expertise used in the safety critical Oil & Gas sector has also been applied in the marine, utilities, pharmaceutical and other fluid handling sectors.

Ten years in a Quality Management role equipped me to build the PMFC Quality Management System (aligned with and working towards ISO9001:2015). PMFC uses a rigorous documented approach that combines knowledge of material science, engineering hardware and seal function to provide a robust evidence based understanding of material & component failure.

While working closely with clients to identify causes of failure, PMFC strives to be responsive, reliable, confidential , communicative and honest.
