Quality Assurance is a critical component of Accutek’s Testing Services. Accutek’s Quality Assurance System is maintained in accordance with ISO 17025 and Nadcap.
Hardness Testing
Accutek offers the following hardness testing methods Brinell, Rockwell, Microhardness and Shore Durometer. Hardness testing is used to determine the material characteristics of metals and alloys. Accutek Testing Laboratory is a NADCAP ISO/IEC accredited laboratory. All hardness testing machines at Accutek are calibrated to the A2LA standards, to ensure accurate results.
Chemical Analysis
Accutek provides chemical analysis services on metals, alloys and other materials. Chemical Analysis testing is one method of material identification to ensure compliance with quality standards and confirm material properties. A minimum 25 grams of material is required to perform chemical analysis testing.
Tensile Testing
Accutek’s accredited lab offers tensile testing services from mere ounces to 60,000+ lbs. From specimen machining, and specialized fixture design and fabrication, to the actual testing and reporting, our skilled technicians have the knowledge and experience to handle your tensile testing project from start to finish. Our facility is equipped with all the resources necessary to carry out your tensile tests.
Charpy Impact Testing
Accutek’s NIST Certified Charpy V-Notch testing services offer you a cost effective method for measuring the relative toughness of a material. Accutek performs charpy impact testing in accordance with ASTM E23, which governs details like notch dimensions and sample size. Charpy testing can be performed on metals, polymers, composites and ceramics.
