Additional Services

Variable Elimination Testing (V.E.T.)

Variable Elimination Testing (V.E.T.) is a streamlined program to identify and resolve persistent process failures. Through a series of targeted tests, V.E.T. pinpoints root causes, offering a cost-effective alternative to trial-and-error approaches. Tailored for industries like aerospace, it ensures reliable operations with a clear process: customer collaboration, sample analysis, and comprehensive reporting—driving efficiency and results.

Replacement Testing

Our replacement testing service supports customers facing test failures by providing follow-up reminders for testing to identify root causes and maintain compliance. We offer a dependable solution to keep your processes consistent and certified.

Step-Load Testing

Under ASTM F519, we offer step load testing on remaining samples after the standard 200-hour test is complete. This method applies incremental loads to quickly detect hydrogen embrittlement, providing a fast, reliable compliance check following initial testing.
