The M&P Lab provides detailed analyses to evaluate dry lubricants, greases, oils and fuels. Among the analyses are ash content, distillation curve, flash point, pour point, specific gravity, sulfur content, viscosity, water separability, and trace metal analysis, among others. In addition, cone penetration and dropping point analyses are available for greases.

The M&P Lab Quality Assurance:

Our comprehensive quality assurance program is in compliance with such prestigious industry quality standards as ISO 17025 Nadcap (defense industry) and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B (nuclear utility industry).

The M&P Lab is a full-service materials testing laboratory, offering our clients a full range of analytical and consulting services such as acceptance testing, quality control, service evaluation, failure analysis and product development. We analyze materials such as metals, composites, organics and polymers to determine composition, structure and properties.

DISCOVERY…We start by looking – first with the naked eye, then closer, in ways our eyes can't see, searching for clues.

ANALYSIS…The analysis is often a comparison to a known standard or specification.

INSIGHT…Rooted in years of experience, individual intelligence and creativity, insight is what enables us to make the leap from a collection of data to a comprehensive solution.

SOLUTIONS…The intimate knowledge of our clients' products and processes allows us to respond faster to their needs, more directly address their problems and provide sound solutions which make a significant impact on the clients' bottom line
