Various techniques and test equipment are used to assess changes in material behavior under specific environmental conditions. These techniques can be used to determine melting points, coefficients of thermal expansion, glass transitions, solidus-liquidus temperatures, rates of cure and specific heat of various materials. These tests can be performed in a variety of environments, including inert and reactive atmospheres.

Specific methods offered by The M&P Lab are differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and high temperature differential thermal analysis (HTDTA).

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.
