METALS Applications
About Us
The Metals Industry has a wide array of testing needs
with the typical requirement of verification of the metal
chemistry or alloy grade of metal components and raw
materials.  
 Metal Cleanliness and Inclusion Analysis
provide very important information for metals certification.


Positive Material Identification (PMI) is critical for assuring
safe plant facilities and components that require specific
alloy grade to insure their proper performance.

With today's Precious Metal prices, producers and buyers
of components utilizing Precious Metals routinely test
plated surfaces for thickness and composition.
