Comprehensive Materials Testing and Analytical Services at Materials Metric
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advanced materials testing service?
It is a broad laboratory testing service that characterizes the chemical, physical, thermal, and structural properties of materials and products. Materials Metric selects the appropriate techniques and reports results with interpretation. It serves as a general entry point for most materials testing needs.
What does it include?
The service includes a range of analytical and physical tests such as composition analysis, thermal and mechanical characterization, and imaging, chosen to suit the material and the question. Deliverables include a test report with results, methods, and interpretation. The exact tests are agreed before work begins.
What sample or input is required?
A representative sample of the material or product is required in sufficient quantity and suitable condition for the chosen tests. Relevant background, safety information, and the question you need answered should be provided. We confirm sample requirements during scoping.
Which standards guide the testing?
Testing follows recognized ISO and ASTM methods where a suitable standard exists for the property measured, and documented in-house procedures where none applies. The applicable standards depend on the material and tests requested. Each result is reported with its method so it is traceable.
