Wide Range Temperature Testing ~4K to 1500K

Materials Research and Engineering (MRE) is a high quality, quick-turnaround testing facility.  Although our specialty is testing at extreme temperatures, MRE is also experienced and cost competitive with standard room temperature testing.  MRE will help you design a test plan that focuses on your needs – sometimes this means that you need a specific ASTM, MIL, BS or other standard test performed.  Other times you may need to have an actual product tested in order to prove out a new design or because a process, material or design feature has changed.  MRE has decades of experience in both standards and product testing.  More specific information can be found in the links above; below are examples of some of the services that we perform:
