Mechanical Testing Services
ASAP Metal Testing is known for our fast test turn-around to support daily quality control testing schedules. The mechanical testing laboratory is operated by experienced technicians and metallurgical engineers so that all testing is performed in compliance with the required industry test methods.
All laboratory tests are audited and accredited in accordance with ISO 17025. This specification is similar to ISO 9001 with the additional requirement that ALL test methods must be audited by a 3rd party accredited agency.
Test reports from the mechanical test lab will include:
- The identity of the sample(s):
- Heat Number
- Part Number
- Size
- Metal Alloy Grade
- Processing Condition
- Test Direction
- The requested tests and the test specification with the revision number or date
- Test values rounded to the proper significant digits defined by the specification
- Accept/reject statement of conformance.

Internal Retesting
ASAP Metal Testing has an extensive amount of equipment within the mechanical testing laboratory. This allows us to review and retest samples internally if retesting is required to confirm our initial test results. Retesting on different equipment with different calibration certificates is essentially the same as sending the sample to another lab for retesting. This is the ASAP Metal Testing commitment to reproducible and accurate test results.
