Material Testing
The Testing Challenge
Proper material selection and validation are critical for the success of nonmetallic equipment in corrosive applications. Without rigorous testing, it is difficult to guarantee that a material will perform as expected under specific operating conditions, potentially leading to premature failures and costly downtime.
Maverick Applied Science provides in-depth physical and analytical testing of nonmetallic materials. Whether you need to qualify a new material for a specific application, verify the quality of fabricated components, or investigate the root cause of a failure, our testing services provide the objective data and expert analysis required to make confident engineering decisions.
