Laboratory Testing Inc. Receives Nadcap Accreditation for Z2 Low Stress Grinding & Polishing

Laboratory Testing Inc. (LTI) has expanded its scope of Nadcap accreditation with the addition of Z2 Low Stress Grinding and Polishing for fatigue specimen preparation. LTI’s fracture mechanics lab performs High-Cycle Fatigue, Low-Cycle Fatigue, Fatigue Crack Growth and Fracture Toughness Testing services. The in-house machine shop prepares specimens required for these tests and other mechanical testing services.

LTI’s Nadcap scope of accreditation in Materials Testing is extensive, covering a wide-range of chemical analysis, mechanical testing, metallography and corrosion testing services, as well as evaluation of welds, specimen heat treating and specimen preparation. In addition to (Z2) Low Stress Grinding and Polishing, the Lab’s Nadcap accreditation for specimen preparation according to AC7101/7 approves LTI for (Z) Standard Specimen Machining, (Z1) Low Stress Grinding, (Z3) Cast Specimens and (Z4) Special Preparation. Precision specimens are prepared in LTI’s 12,000 sq. ft. machine shop, which is built for high speed and large capacity specimen preparation.

“Maintaining an extensive list of Nadcap accreditations is just one of the ways LTI demonstrates its commitment to quality and continuous improvement. We continue to invest in new equipment and technologies, skilled experts, and training to meet the unique needs of our aerospace primes and their supply chains,” said Ed Deeny, Quality Manager.
