Testing for Aerospace/Defense
The aerospace industry tests for a wide range of properties; while there is some emphasis on certification, a major component is related to new product development. Materials tend to be more exotic and include light weight, high strength plastics that can take high temperatures, crushable foams, and clear plastics that are used in windows and canopies.
High strain-rate testing for use in impact simulations is important. So are thermal properties such as thermal conductivity, diffusivity of insulating materials as well as composites, metals. Flow and thermal properties of fluids are needed for use in design applications. CAE material calibrations for injection molding simulation, structural analysis and impact simulation are commonplace in this industry.

Get Started
Tell us about the material, application, environment, and any method, standard, specimen, or conditioning constraints.
We’ll align the appropriate method, specimen requirements, and deliverables to your objectives, then provide a quote and test plan.
Send the purchase order and arrange delivery of materials or specimens so the program can move into scheduling and execution.
You’ll receive an engineering test report with digital data delivery, along with any agreed raw data or method-appropriate outputs.
