Materials Testing & Lab Services
Metallic and non-metallic materials can be analyzed for chemical composition, microstructure, material properties, corrosion resistance, and environmental stability. Materials testing allows us to make proactive recommendations to reduce risk and failure, and to help to identify manufacturing materials for longer lifecycles and safer processes.
At Acuren, we have designated centers of expertise for conducting specialized testing such as NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) sour service testing on oil field parts, long-term fatigue tests, and accelerated aging testing on automotive plastic components.
Our in-house machine shops provide quick and accurate specimen preparation for all laboratory tests. Our technical libraries contain an extensive collection of materials standards, both current and historical, for evaluating test results. Our extensive professional engineering experience is supported by our NADCAP and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited in-house laboratory facilities.
