Quality Testing, Inc. has recently acquired a dynamic load hardness tester capable of performing Vickers and Brinell Micro-hardness. 

This machine is capable of performing simple to complex hardness test matrices in a fraction of the time it takes on static load machines.  Perfect for case depth hardness, through hardness, & high volume test patterns
.
Machine accuracy is checked on a certified hardness block prior to each use. 

Let's connect to discuss your hardness testing needs or call 1-888-611-3076.

Quality Testing, Inc. has added two drop weight testing towers to their line of in-house testing capabilities.  This is the culmination of 18 months of design, fabrication & programming.   

The small drop tower was designed to service the highway box-beam guardrail industry while the big drop tower is used to test API line pipe. Both machines is controlled through plc's using an iPad.

The big DWTT machine possesses a few additional features that the small machine does not, such as a sliding specimen carriage that automatically returns to the out position after each test to receive a new specimen.  At twenty feet tall, the building and the slab had to be modified to accommodate the height and impact velocity.  It is capable of generating up to 40 kJ (~29,000 ft. lbs.) of energy at impact, and testing material from  0.325" - 2.00" wall material, at full wall thickness, making it the largest commercially available machine in the country.   

Given our experience with high volume turn-around servicing pipe and tubing manufacturers, we are uniquely positioned to serve as overflow testing partners.  We are capable of providing same day/next day turn-around to ensure that production remains on schedule in case of equipment failure or breakdowns.

Call 1-888-611-3076 or contact us to discuss your specific drop-weight testing needs.

After a gap year, we've found ourselves with a strong rank of 30, up from 57 in 2015.  We accredit this to  Drop Weight Tear Testing, and fastener inspection and testing.  As recently added service lines, both have proven to be a welcome addition to our growing catalog of mechanical testing services.  Being a part of LSU 100 is a true honor, and demonstrates the spirit of entrepreneurship being fostered at the university.  We look forward to making the list again next year. 

The LSU 100: Fastest Growing Tiger Businesses identifies, recognizes and celebrates the 100 fastest growing LSU-owned or LSU-led businesses in the world. The LSU100 not only celebrates their success, it also provides a forum to pass lessons to the next generation of LSU entrepreneurs.

The LSU 100 showcases the entrepreneurial success of former LSU students representing various fields and professions including technology, oil and gas, insurance, healthcare, design, construction, manufacturing and public relations. By engaging the honorees with the LSU community, students and alumni network with and learn from one another to create a legacy of entrepreneurship at LSU.

As of May 2017, we have been approved for continued certification to the ISO 9001:2008 standard as a Materials test laboratory specializing in physical properties testing using industrial band saws, CNC machines, and test equipment.  Quality Testing, Inc. provides reports to the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Steel & Pipe Manufacturing, Transportation and Defense industries. 

Mechanical testing laboratory Quality Testing, Inc. has received official government approval for testing safety critical threaded fasteners. 

There are strict guidelines all manufacturers must meet in order to produce fasteners for the Federal market.  A threaded fastener used in a safety critical application is manufactured with a root radius and are held within tighter tolerances than commercially available fasteners.  The Department of Defense (DoD) requires a random sample of all fasteners manufactured with a UNJ profile to be checked by a third-party laboratory.

Quality Testing, Inc. has allocated the resources necessary to establish a fully integrated fastener testing laboratory.   Using specialized digital gages, the dimensional characteristics of an external  thread such as functional diameter, pitch diameter, minor diameter, lead angle, flank angle, taper, circularity, and others can be analyzed to within .0001"  In addition to dimensional inspection, other testing protocols such as: Magnetic particle testing, Rockwell hardness testing, tensile testing, chemical analysis, and plating analysis will be incorporated in order provide a complete quality report of the threaded fastener.      

"We are excited by the opportunity to provide fastener testing services for the Federal government.  This represents a new market and service line for Quality Testing, Inc. As an ISO 9001 certified testing laboratory, we look forward to providing quality, reliable test data to the DoD in order to support the war fighter."

We did it again!
