Test the material.
Verify the performance.
QIT provides mechanical and destructive testing to evaluate welds, test coupons,
and materials for qualification, quality control, and project-specific requirements.
Testing can be supported by specimen preparation, visual evaluation, and organized reporting.

What we need to get started.
To ensure the correct test method, specimen preparation, and reporting requirements
are established before testing begins, please provide the applicable code or specification,
material information, sample identification, required test method, acceptance criteria,
and any project-specific requirements.
Need mechanical or destructive testing?
Send the test method, material or coupon details, applicable code,
acceptance criteria, and required schedule so QIT can review the request and confirm availability.
