Full Chemical Analysis
(FCA-OES)

This service uses PMI testing methods, including hand-held XRF and OES, to establish the composition of unknown metallic alloys.

Benefits: FCA-OES testing provides valuable insights into the properties and potential uses of these materials.

Magnetic Particle Testing
(MT)

This service uses a non-destructive testing (NDT) process to detect surface and subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.

Benefits: Magnetic particle testing is a quick and reliable way to identify flaws or defects in materials, helping to ensure their quality and safety.

Liquid Penetrant Testing
(PT)

This service uses a dye penetrant inspection (DPI) or liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) process to locate surface-breaking defects in non-porous materials.

Benefits: Liquid penetrant testing is a low-cost method for identifying potential problems with materials, helping to ensure that they meet industry standards.

Hardness Testing
(Brinell)

This service involves using a Brinell hardness test to measure the hardness of a metal by measuring the indentation caused by an indenter.

Benefits: By identifying the hardness of a material, it can help ensure that the material meets the required hardness specification and avoid costly repairs/replacements down the line by ensuring the materials are suited for the intended application.

Ferrite Testing

This service involves measuring the delta ferrite content in austenitic stainless steel and duplex stainless steel.


Benefits: By understanding the ferrite content of these materials, it is possible to assess their susceptibility to corrosion and other types of material failure. Ferrite testing can help ensure the quality and reliability of these materials.

Dimensional Inspection

Dimensional Inspection involves measuring and verifying the dimensions of a product or component to ensure that it meets specified tolerances and requirements. This typically involves using precision measuring tools and equipment, such as calipers, micrometers, and optical comparators, to take accurate and repeatable measurements of the product's key dimensions.

Benefits: Dimensional inspection is a valuable tool for ensuring the quality and reliability of a product, and can help manufacturers improve their operations and deliver better products to their customers.

Third Party Vendor Surveillance

This service involves overseeing the manufacturing and refurbishing of products to ensure that they meet project specifications and drawings.

Benefits: Third-party vendor surveillance helps end-users of various products ensure that they are receiving high-quality materials and services that meet their needs and requirements. By providing independent oversight of the manufacturing and refurbishing processes, third-party vendor surveillance can help identify potential problems of inconsistencies, and ensure that products are made to the correct specifications and standards. This can help prevent costly delays or defects, and improve the overall quality and reliability of the products.
