Need Testing? We can help! High Tech High Temp's world class testing facility can provide testing services for a broad range of materials. Located near Cleveland, Ohio, the laboratory supports our global Research and Development center. The laboratory has an extensive capability to analyze a large range of products, including carbonaceous materials, cokes, pitches, fibers, polymers and ceramics. In addition, we are accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) for industrial hygiene analysis. Please contact us for any of your testing needs.
HIGH TEMPERATURE TESTING
We developed many of the tests used to evaluate materials at temperatures up to 2500°C as part of our carbon and graphite R&D program. This capability is available for samples in a variety of sizes. Calling on extensive experience, our staff can assist with challenging testing needs at these very high temperatures.

PHYSICAL PROPERTY TESTING
The laboratory can characterize the properties of solid materials, using ASTM procedures or specially developed methods. Samples are tested as received, or machined to a wide variety of specimen sizes based on your requirements. We perform tests in accordance with well-documented procedures, and employ modern quality control methods to insure precision and accuracy.

MICROSTRUCTURAL PROPERTIES TESTING
Microstructure is the key to understanding the properties and performance of materials. We have the equipment to see what is going on at this level, but more importantly, we have the interpretative skills and experience necessary to explain and predict macrostructural behavior.
