Test & Inspection

RSS

This article provides a brief introduction to a dynamic micro-indention measurement technique which can be useful to characterize materials that are hard to analyze using the well-known Vickers and Knoop measurements described in ASTM E364.

After integrating ATOS technology into its FAIR procedure, the metrology department experienced increasing internal inspection demand.

One of the more frequent questions we receive is: I am tapping a ¼-20 UNC 2B internal thread with an “H13” tap, what gage do I need to inspect the threaded holes in my parts after tapping?

Quality materials are the route to quality products. For a product to be fit-for-purpose and meet legislative and commercial requirements it must check several boxes.

A digital validation of the design variation to reduce prototype builds or solve build issues while increasing innovation.

In-situ monitoring (ISM) has plenty of room for growth and maturation, and thus in June 2022, ASTM International and NASA sponsored an ISM workshop.

Advanced 3D digitalization technologies offer a solution with a modernized NDT alternative that saves time and money and unlocks access to more information in a single measurement session.

Whether you are an OEM testing an airframe or a third tier supplier testing high strength alloys, it is crucial to use a reliable tensile testing system that can produce repeatable results.

Two basic types of tensile test are broadly relevant; is the test specimen strong enough to resist breakage, or is it easy to use safely and efficiently?

Battery manufacturing quality in the automotive industry is becoming increasingly important with the growing popularity of electric and hybrid-electric vehicles.
