Military / Defense
Committed to Protecting Our People
For the protection of our country and our troops, product safety and accuracy are imperative to the military and defense industries. Laboratory Testing provides the government and other clients in the defense sector with a variety of Nadcap-accredited testing capabilities to support research on new technology, product manufacturing and failure analysis. LTI materials and nondestructive testing is performed according to stringent industry procedures to determine material composition, mechanical properties, defects and inconsistencies, affects of humidity, corrosion susceptibility and cause of failure in metal parts. Our lab also has approvals from many leading manufacturers.
