Director's Message

I am pleased to present the capabilities and achievements of the Center. The Center is one of the largest research centers at KFUPM. It has been actively conducting research and technical studies for industrial and the governmental organizations for more than 40 years.

The Center provides research services in the areas of electrical/mechanical/radiation calibration, development of engineering standards, assessment of civil engineering materials and facilities, high-voltage testing and multiphase flow measurements. Several local and regional organizations avail the Center’s services to solve process-related problems, improve and certify their products, validate materials and facilities. These services are provided by highly motivated researchers and technical staff utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.

In addition to serving the external clients, the Center collaborates with other academic departments and research centers in the University. The Center also conducts applied research projects sponsored by the University or external funding agencies, such as KACST, MOE, KACARE and others.  The Center’s affiliates have published more than 600 scientific papers in high-impact peer-reviewed international journals and are inventors of 71 granted patents. They have won several national and international awards and are on the editorial boards of several national and international journals.

The Center will be pleased to have a fruitful partnership with industrial/governmental organizations towards the development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries.
