Applied Technical Services is one of the leading material testing companies in the U.S. ATS’ material testing labs provide a wide array of methods that allow clients to verify the characteristics of their samples. Our material testing department consists of various branches of analysis. Depending on the services requested by a client, our services may take place in-lab or on the jobsite. We can provide materials testing for several applications that range from failure analysis to material qualification to compliance testing.
Branches Include the Following
Environmental Testing: Test samples are exposed to simulated environmental conditions, including humidity, temperature, and vibration, to verify the client’s product will operate as intended in their work environment.
- Altitude
- Coating Adhesion/ Abrasion Resistance
- Color/Specular gloss
- Flammability
- Humidity
- Ingress Protection
- Thermal cycling
- Thermal Shock
- Vibration/seismic
- Xenon Weathering
- Accelerated Corrosion (Salt Spray, CASS)
- Gravelometer / Chip Resistance
Mechanical Testing: Test samples are subjected to physical stresses and pressures to locate areas of weakness.
- Anchor Pull
- Charpy / Izod / Drop Weight Impact
- Fatigue / CTOD / Strain Gauge
- Helium Leak / Pressure / Vacuum Leak
- Hydrogen Embrittlement
- Safe Working / Yield / Failure Load
- Shear
- Special Test Setups
