Hire the Experts in Metrology & Metallurgical Analysis to Ensure

Two branches of engineering are of great relevance to production units, one is metrology while the other is metallurgical analysis. Industrial metrology is the science of accurate measurements. Metrology is of utmost importance for the precision engineering field as producing products with fine tolerance values is as crucial as measuring them for desired accuracy levels.

Precision engineering companies such as Precision Products Inc., (PPI) have machine shops with measurement devices that undergo regular calibration to NIST standards. The high precision metrology devices include machines like Zeiss Contura that offers scanning technology as well as the reporting capacity to allow comparison of the part with either the tolerance sheet or the original blue print. Besides the Zeiss, PPI also has the Brown and Sharpe Mistral CMM. Both these machines are certified to an accuracy of 2 microns.

Further, the other important branch of engineering that plays a crucial role for the proper functioning of the production units is metallurgical analysis. It facilitates premier production units to ensure beforehand that the materials used for production meet the standards in terms of their composition. Secondly, once the products have been manufactured, metallurgical analysis allows to evaluate their physical and mechanical properties to ensure their conformation to the customer’s specifications.

Thirdly, metallurgical analysis enables reverse engineering, an essential aspect of all production units. PPI possesses X-ray fluorescence equipment using which virtually any metal or alloy can be tested within seconds. PPI also has the required machines to carry out the testing of heavy metals including lead and arsenic among others.
