HETEN Laboratory is tuned to the testing of welds and welding consumables. We've earned a reputation for accurate results, competitive pricing, and fast service.

Services:

• PQR and WPQR testing of your test plates and pipes.

• Electrode Certification of consumables for lot certification or product certification (mainly for filler metal manufacturers or consumers who need independent verification of consumable properties).

• Electrode Certification from your test plates (you weld, we test).

• Base Metal testing to determine properties.

Test Methods:

• Tension Testing to 60,000 lbf for yield strength, ultimate strength, elongation, and reduction of area.

• Charpy Testing from 9 to 192 ft-lbf (12 to 260 J); room temperature to -320 F (-196 C).

• Hardness Testing with Rockwell A and Rockwell C.

• Micro-Hardness Testing with Knoop @ 500g load.

• Bend Testing to AWS, ASME, API with a whole suite of ram diameters.

• Nick-Break Testing to AWS and API codes.

Resources:

• Available welding processes include GMAW/FCAW (manual and mechanized), SMAW, GTAW, and PAW.

• Post-Weld Heat Treatment with computer-controlled oven to 2,192 F (1,200 C).

• Ageing oven to artificially age specimens when appropriate per requirements.

• In-house machine shop for specimen extraction and preparation.

• HETEN Engineering is available when test results indicate the need for assistance.
