Calibration and Additional Services

Another vital component of quality control for manufacturing and fabricating is equipment calibration. To ensure the production or assembly of a quality product, it is important to regularly verify output accuracy from measuring tools, gages, torque wrenches, surface plates, and other instruments used in assembly or production.

LTI’s calibration lab, LTI Metrology, offers a convenient solution. A full range of calibration services are available in our environment-controlled laboratory or on-site within a 100-mile radius of LTI. Our highly trained technicians provide calibration services for a wide range of instruments, including adjustments, repairs, and replacements:

LTI’s Services Stand the Test of Time

Our accredited, independent lab has provided material testing services for manufacturing and fabricating since 1984. Whether relying on a material testing facility for peace of mind, to meet customer requirements, or to meet industry specifications, LTI is here to do the job. We know that accuracy, timely turnarounds, and competitive pricing are essential to meeting competitive challenges, and we work hard to provide comprehensive material solutions.

I wanted to take the time to personally thank you for the time and effort that LTI has put into the testing involved with our orders. Your staff has been invaluable over the last several years. Additionally, the fact that you are now able to perform Fracture Toughness testing in house has already proven priceless in both the turnaround time and in getting my questions answered. I’ve been fortunate to have worked with LTI since 1986 and I have come to think of LTI as an extension of our company e. I look forward to our continued relationship.
