Performance Analysis & Testing

This is a form of virtual software testing which can be used during the design phase which examines general manufacturing software application functionality.

A coordinate-measure machine measures an object's precise geometry using a mechanical, optical, or laser probe.

Many of our products, particularly in the oil and gas industry, need to perform in environments where corrosion of metal components is a concern. Our corrosion analysis testing ensures the best possible performance within harsh environments. Our seasoned metallurgists test corrosion from exposure to salt spray, humidity, cyclic corrosion, and more.

Cycle testing, or life cycle testing is a process where products are tested to ensure adequate life cycle or product lifetime under regular working conditions.

Fatigue testing is similar to cycle testing and checks product performance to ensure appropriate life cycle under working conditions. Fatigue testing in particular is performed by adding a recurring load to the product and identify possible weaknesses.

Rockwell testing is a specific method used for testing the hardness of materials like metals and some plastics. The Rockwell scale measures penetration of the material when force is applied.

Leak testing is a process used to detect if products that function in environments with a flow of liquid or gas range within a minimum leak limit. This testing can expose problem areas where cracks, holes, or broken seals may exist. 

Our Helium Mass Spectrometer detects any leakage beyond 1 x 10-9 ccHe/sec – less than 1 cc in 32 years. Our equipment is calibrated to NIST standards and complete inspection ensures that a leak-tight assembly is delivered every time.

This is an NDT process where a magnetic field is added directly or indirectly to the component and used to test certain metals like nickel, cobalt, iron, and their alloys for shallow surface inconsistencies.

NDT or Non-Destructive testing is a broader term used to describe multiple testing techniques used, particularly in technology and science, to test components or materials without damaging the testing materials.

Machine vision systems are designed to extrapolate information from digital images to guide specified manufacturing operations. This is often used in performance and quality control testing of manufactured components.

Product and design validation testing is the process of testing a proposed product prior to mass production to ensure that it is suitable for its designed task and meets the needs of its users.
