For dependable precision, our full-service metrology lab offers calibration in a climate-controlled setting.
Achieving Quality Goals
Laboratory Testing Inc. is an A2LA ISO/IEC 17025-accredited facility, delivering reliable materials testing, calibration, and dimensional inspection services. Our expertise spans a wide range of materials, including metals, powdered metals, ferroalloys, ores, composites, and ceramics. All testing and calibration activities are documented with comprehensive Test Reports or Certificates of Calibration, ensuring transparency, traceability, and confidence in results.
Calibration & Test One-Stop
To provide maximum efficiency, Laboratory Testing Inc. offers all services required for transportation industry metal testing in a single, convenient location. This integrated approach minimises turnaround times, streamlines workflows, and ensures that clients can access chemical, mechanical, corrosion, and dimensional testing under one roof.
Chemical Analysis
Our chemical analysis capabilities include advanced spectroscopy and mass spectrometry techniques such as ICP-AES, ICP-MS, and AES. Positive Material Identification (PMI) is performed using SEM and EDS for precise material verification. Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTIR) allows detailed analysis of organic and inorganic compounds, while classical wet chemistry methods provide accurate compositional data.
Testing for Corrosion
We perform a wide range of corrosion testing, including salt fog/salt spray, passivation, and humidity testing. Temperature-related tests follow ASTM A262 Practices A through E, ASTM G28 Procedures A and B, ASTM G48 Procedures A and B, and ASTM A923 Method C. These tests evaluate material resistance to environmental and chemical exposure, ensuring performance in demanding conditions.
Mechanical Evaluations
Our mechanical testing services cover tensile strength, high-temperature hardness, Charpy impact, general hardness evaluation, bend tests, creep testing, hydrogen embrittlement, weld inspections, and fastener testing. These evaluations ensure structural integrity, durability, and compliance with relevant industry standards.
Testing for Fatigue and Fracture
We provide fatigue and fracture testing, including fracture toughness assessment, fatigue crack growth studies, and high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue tests. Our metrological analyses cover carburization and decarburization, grain size (ASTM E-112), inclusion scoring (ASTM E-45), plate thickness measurement, carbide precipitation, ferrite content (ASTM E-562), intergranular oxidation, beta case evaluation, sensitization, surface contamination, nodularity assessment, macro-etching (ASTM E-340), surface finish evaluation, and microhardness profiling (Knoop & Vickers).
Dimensional Inspection and Non-Destructive Testing
We offer advanced dimensional inspection, failure analysis, and on-site calibration services using ultrasonic examination, hydrostatic evaluation, magnetic particle inspection, X-ray inspection, and liquid penetrant testing. These methods ensure component accuracy and detect defects without causing damage to the parts, supporting quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
Conclusion
Laboratory Testing Inc. combines technical expertise, accredited procedures, and state-of-the-art instrumentation to deliver comprehensive materials testing, chemical analysis, mechanical evaluation, and non-destructive inspection services. By providing a one-stop solution for calibration and testing, we enable clients to achieve rigorous quality standards, improve reliability, and ensure compliance across industrial applications.
