PTS has an internal Metallurgical Laboratory (MET LAB) to expedite development programs and to provide quality assurance for standard production processes.

At PTS, we provide interpretation of our results and work with you to evaluate testing data, so that you not only have data, but the knowledge to make rational decisions for your project or business.

Our engineers and metallurgists are trained in various metals.

These are just some of the services we offer:

• Microstructural assessment
