Specialized Testing

METL conducts a number of specialized tests on both metallic and non-metallic materials. Some of the tests are shown below. However, if you have a specific specialized test requirement, call us and we’ll be glad to either assist you in acquiring the testing capability, or we will refer you to a source who will meet your specific testing needs. 

  • Fluorescent penetrant oils recertification
  • Salt spray corrosion (ASTM B-117, B-368)
  • Viscosity
  • Taber abrasion
  • Shelf life recertification (non-metallics)
  • Coefficent of friction
