Mechanical, fracture mechanics, chemical, metallurgical, ultrasonic, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, X-ray and hydrostatic pressure testing services are performed on metals and alloys found in fasteners, tubular products, bars, plates and castings and other products. The chemistry lab also analyzes powdered metals, ores, ferroalloys, composites and ceramics. LTI has the capabilities to test metals and other materials for strength and durability, flaws and defects and to determine material composition and susceptibility to corrosion. Failure analysis testing can be performed to determine the root cause of an unexpected failure in a product or part designed to operate under specific service conditions. A detailed report explains the cause of the failure and can provide information on preventing future occurrences.

All specimen machining is performed with computerized numerical control (CNC) equipment in accordance with ASTM A-370, ASTM E-8 or ASTM E-23 requirements and customer specifications. The calibration lab, LTI Metrology, provides dimensional, pressure, force, torque, temperature, electrical, mass and vacuum calibration services for hand tools, gages, standards and other measuring instruments and equipment. LTI also offers on-site calibration service for surface plates, optical comparators, hardness testers, scales, hand tools, and testing machines and performs oven uniformity surveys. LTI supplies new gages, tools and replacement parts up request, and instrument repairs are available.
