Testing Lab Case Study
Based in Des Plaines, IL, the Gas Technology Institute (GTI) is a leading research, development and training organization serving energy markets by developing technology-based solutions for consumers, industry, and government. The lab used a fifteen year-old, 60,000 lb. Tinius Olsen tensile testing frame. While the mechanics of the frame were working well, the non-computerized system that had been retrofitted to the machine to control the tests and report results was unnecessarily complicated to the point of being impractical. GTI turned to ADMET to bring their machine up to speed. GTI chose ADMET’s MTESTQuattro materials testing system to solve their challenges. The MTESTQuattro system was determined to be cost-effective and efficient to use. Unlike other test systems, MTESTQuattro came with all of the core tests included. An ADMET engineer came to GTI’s facility to demonstrate MTESTQuattro capabilities, install the system, and train GTI’s technicians. The ADMET platform allowed GTI technicians to set up more complex tests and increased the lab’s throughput on routine tests, allowing them to test more pieces in a shorter length of time.
Breathe New Life into your Testing Machines
Breathe New Life into your Testing MachinesADMET’s relationship with testing labs started 25 years ago when the company was exclusively building software and controllers for a large range of electromechanical and servo-hydraulic material testing machines. Testing labs such as Acuren, Twining Labs, APL Testing, Bodycote, and Westmoreland came to ADMET looking to retrofit and upgrade their manually operated universal testing machines to closed loop servo controlled systems with ADMET software and controller packages. Our engineers worked with customers to upgrade machines of different make and models with new accessories, controllers, and indicators that incorporate a wide array of reporting, data acquisition, analysis and control. With minimal cost, upgraded machines now had increased capability and flexibility allowing the operators to work as efficiently as possible. Operators could generate comprehensive test reports through fast and error-free calculations. Moreover, reports can be shared over networks and exported to a shared database if imported. Overall, there was a significant reduction in the testing time. To read more about retrofits, click here.

The ADMET story started 33 years ago with testing machine retrofits and software and controller design, making the company a leader in its industry. Since then, ADMET has gone on to manufacture its own testing frames and systems, building on the core strength of its robust software design. In addition to our standard offerings, we will also tailor a custom system to meet your special testing requirements.
