Our
broad range of capabilities allows us to offer a one stop shop for
failure analysis, non-destructive testing, destructive testing, materials research, and process quality testing.
MES performs mechanical,
metallurgical, chemical, environmental, and corrosion testing of
metals, polymers, ceramics, and other materials. We also offer welder
qualification and weld procedure consulting services. Our
laboratory is capable of testing large lot sizes for
manufacturing controls and we offer discounted rates for high volume
testing. Whether you need a sample tested to a specification or a custom test
configuration, our certified experts will guide you to select
the best test for your business needs. |
