Hatfield, Pennsylvania (I-Newswire) August 9, 2011 - Laboratory Testing Inc. (LTI) now offers Electrical and Temperature Calibration through the company’s calibration laboratory, LTI Metrology. LTI calibration services verify accurate output from electrical instruments such as multimeters, clamp meters, calibrators and other items that generate and measure DC and AC voltage, DC and AC current, and DC resistance. Temperature-reading instruments such as thermometers, thermocouples and temperature recorders are calibrated using dry-wells and liquid-baths with temperature ranges from -45° C to 700° C. Temperature uniformity surveys are also performed on ovens and furnaces according to AMS2750D pyrometry requirements. Calibration services and uniformity surveys are imperative for ensuring accurate and consistent production and energy efficiency for manufacturers, heat treaters and other businesses that rely on electrical and temperature equipment.
LTI Metrology recently received A2LA accreditation to perform electrical and temperature calibration services, and temperature uniformity surveys. Approval by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) ensures conformance to International Standard ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. All calibration performed at LTI Metrology is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Electrical and temperature calibration expand the suite of services originally offered by LTI Metrology for dimensional, pressure, torque, force, mass, and vacuum measuring instruments. All calibration services are available at the Hatfield, PA location, outside of Philadelphia, and many instruments can be calibrated in the field. Services such as adjustments, mechanical repairs and part replacement are completed by LTI technicians as needed.

About Laboratory Testing Inc.:
Laboratory Testing Inc. (LTI) of Hatfield, PA has been in business since 1984. The company specializes in materials testing, specimen machining, failure analysis, dimensional inspection and calibration services. The lab is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 by PRI/Nadcap and A2LA, which complies with and exceeds the requirements of ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. Chemical, mechanical, metallurgical and nondestructive testing are performed on metals found in fasteners, tubing, pipe, barstock, plates, castings and other products. The chemistry lab performs ICP-Mass spectroscopy, ICP-AES spectroscopy, Direct Reading AES, trace element analysis, SEM-EDS and corrosion testing and also analyzes powdered metals, ores, ferroalloys, composites, plastics and ceramics. Mechanical testing covers tensile, hardness, charpy V-notch, stress rupture, proof load, bend, yield strength and more. A wide-range of metallurgical testing services are provided including microscopic, macroscopic and microhardness examinations for grain size measurement, coating thickness measurement, case depth, alpha case, surface contamination, microstructure and many more. Nondestructive testing services include ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, liquid penetrant inspection, X-ray inspection, visual inspection and hydrostatic pressure testing. LTI has the capabilities to test metals and other materials for strength and durability, flaws and defects and to determine composition and susceptibility to corrosion. Failure analysis testing can be performed to determine the root cause of an unexpected failure in a product or part that was designed to operate under specific service conditions. A detailed report explains the cause of the failure and can provide information on preventing future occurrences. The testing area also inspects welds for welder and procedure qualification. LTI's machining division prepares test specimens for mechanical testing, including stress rupture tests. All services are performed using computerized numerical control (CNC) equipment in accordance with ASTM A-370, ASTM E-8 or ASTM E-23 requirements and customer specifications. Dimensional inspection is performed on surface and specialty features of machined products and parts. The calibration lab, LTI Metrology, provides dimensional, pressure, force, torque, electrical, temperature, mass and vacuum calibrations for measuring tools, gages, standards and measuring equipment. LTI also offers field services for surface plates, CMMs, optical comparators, hardness testers, balances, measuring tools, and testing machines. Orders for flow and humidity calibrations can be subcontracted to the company's audited vendors. As a representative for Glastonbury Southern Gage (GSG), Vermont Gage, Mitutoyo, Boston Centerless, Swanson Tool and Starrett, LTI can supply new gages, tools and replacement parts. Instrument repairs are available. Information on LTI services and accreditations is provided at www.labtesting.com or from sales@labtesting.com.
