Disclaimer

The guides published in our resources section set out general engineering principles and the questions worth asking. They are written to help you frame a problem and have a better conversation with a supplier.

They are not a substitute for engineering judgement applied to your specific part, material, machine, loading and duty. Whether any approach described is suitable for your application depends on facts we do not have, and that assessment remains yours.

Nothing on this website should be used as the basis for a decision affecting the safety of people or equipment. Where a component is safety-related, or where failure could cause injury, the specification and its verification should be determined by a qualified engineer with full knowledge of the application.

Descriptions of what CMTA can manufacture, coordinate and verify indicate the type of work we undertake. They are not a warranty that any particular requirement can be met.

Whether a specific part can be produced to a specific specification, in a specific quantity, by a specific date is established through technical review and confirmed in a written quotation.

Where we describe work done for a named customer, the outcome described relates to that project, that component and those conditions. It is published with the customer's permission.

Results are not a prediction of what will be achieved on a different part, machine or application, and should not be read as typical.

We take care that the information published here is accurate at the time of writing, and each guide carries the date it was last reviewed. Engineering practice, standards and our own capability all change over time.

Where a page indicates that a fact is pending confirmation, that is a genuine statement of its status rather than a formality.

This site may link to external resources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or availability. A link does not imply endorsement.

To the extent permitted by law, CMTA does not accept liability for loss arising from reliance on the general information published on this website. Nothing in this disclaimer limits any liability that cannot be limited by law, or affects rights you have under a written contract with us.
