Materials Testing Put It to the Test: Ensure Your Materials Perform as Expected
Most often, materials testing services are required to ensure that products and their component parts can perform for their intended use and endure for their expected life span. LTI material testing services include elemental analysis, verification of mechanical properties and examination of microscopic product features and flaws. You can rely on our quality testing services to help you meet industry requirements, verify the quality of raw materials or your end product, or research the failure of a part or product. Whatever your need, our material testing laboratory will get you reliable information and answers about your materials.
-
Chemical Analysis
Chemical analysis services determine the composition or elemental make-up of materials, and are performed at LTI by instrumental methods and classical wet chemistry. Chemical testing is also performed for corrosion, humidity, passivation, density and porosity.
-
Mechanical Testing
Mechanical testing measures the strength and ductility of materials under various conditions, such as temperature, tension, compression and load. Read "Cargo Parachute Release Can Handle the Load"

Metallurgical Analysis
Metallurgical examinations look for internal and surface defects on test specimens, which we prepare and analyze in our material testing laboratory.
Materials Tested at LTI
Laboratory Testing is fully equipped and accredited to test and analyze a wide-range of metal parts and products such as tubing, pipe, bar, plates, castings and fasteners for many applications and industries. We also analyze powdered metals, ores, ferroalloys, composites, ceramics, aerospace materials and nuclear materials. Even extremely long or large materials, and the smallest samples, can be tested or inspected using the latest technology and state-of-the-art computerized equipment.
Accredited Materials Testing Services
LTI is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 by PRI/Nadcap (Performance Review Institute) in materials testing and nondestructive testing and by A2LA (American Association for Laboratory Accreditation) for dimensional inspection and calibration services. Our quality system also complies with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. All materials testing is performed in accordance with customer requirements and industry standards to ensure reliable results. Our materials testing procedures conform to the following specifications:
- ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)
- ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)
- ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
- AMS (Aerospace Materials Standards)
- MIL (Military Specifications)
