Revenue model

1. Mechanical Testing Services: Destructive mechanical testing services for ferrous and non-ferrous alloys to determine physical properties. Services include tensile testing, Charpy impact testing, hardness testing (Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers), guided bend testing, drop weight tear testing, chemical composition analysis (OES PMI), metallurgical testing, and weld testing. Billed per test or project basis.
2. Specimen Machining Services: CNC-powered test specimen machining and preparation to tight tolerances. Specimens include tensile (flat & round), Charpy V-Notch impact, guided bends (side, face & root), and hardness macros. In-house machining enables faster turnaround and quality control.
3. Welding Procedure Consulting and Qualification Testing: Expert consulting for welding procedure development, WPS/PQR/WPQR generation, and welder qualification testing. Includes procedure qualification records and welder performance testing per ASME, ANSI, API, and AWS specifications.
4. Fastener Testing Services: Certified fastener testing services including destructive testing (tensile, wedge tensile, proof load, shear, hardness, grain size, case hardening depth, chemical analysis, micro-hardness), dimensional inspection (thread gaging up to 5/8"-11), chemical analysis, and plating identification for safety-critical threaded fasteners per DoD requirements.
