Test Laboratories, Inc. has
been in business since, 1976 servicing government and commercial
industries in the testing of materials, primarily but not limited to
advanced composites and other non-metals. The laboratory is housed
in a free standing 14,500 square foot building. The internal layout
was designed and constructed to our specifications to equip and
provide the facilities and utilities required to facilitate
efficient testing. |
|
|
| Within
this Laboratory we have separate labs for Mechanical (Static)
Testing, Dynamic (Fatigue) Testing, Environmental Testing-
(Temperature - Hot/Cold, Temperature and humidity, weather meter -
QUV, Carbon Arc, Xenon Arc, Thermal Cycling, Thermal Shock, etc.),
Chemical Testing- FTIR, Spectroscopy (AA, UV, VIS) ICP, GC/MS, HPLC,
Thermal Testing(DMA, TMA, DSC, TGA, CTE), Metallographic Testing
(Mounting, Polishing, Optical Microscopy, Digital Imaging, Scanning
Electron Microscopy, EDX,
X-Ray
Fluorescence,
Microhardness, Rockwell Hardness),
Specimens Preparation (Machine Shop) and our Standards and
Calibration Lab. Our hydraulic pumps are housed in an outside
building to provide a machinery room away from testing areas to
eliminate any possible temperature or vibration that may interfere
with any on-going test. The testing areas are fully air
conditioned to insure testing integrity. Several Labs have precise
temperature and humidity controls to within +/- 2°F and 3%RH. |
