The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) specializes in materials testing for data centers. As demand for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing grows, the number of data centers is rising. These facilities require specialized construction and operations, and our experts ensure that materials used in data centers meet industry and performance standards.
How is Materials Testing Used in the Construction and Operation of Data Centers?
Construction
Materials testing assesses a material’s physical, mechanical, and chemical properties to confirm its suitability for its intended application. This process is essential in data center construction to ensure the safety, reliability, and compliance of key materials, including:
- Aluminum
- Concrete
- Copper
- Plastics and polymers
- Steel
Operation
Materials testing identifies wear, corrosion, and degradation in data center equipment. We use non-destructive methods, sample analysis, and visual inspections to evaluate a range of components, including:
- Cables/connectors
- Coated materials
- Rotating equipment
- Pipes
- Pumps
- Sensors
- Vessels
- Welds
