Materials Testing Laboratory
Commercial products (process materials) that come under direct contact with War Reserve (WR) components or WR product during pit production operations must be certified for use and tested for compatibility before they can be used. Such testing helps prevent adverse interactions and protects the integrity of the WR components or WR product.At the Materials Testing Laboratory (MTL), we develop test protocols and test process materials using chemical or physical analyses and according to WRMCB requirements. These tests check for a given material's compatibility with WR components or WR product. Specifically, the MTL will:
- collect lot samples,
- perform compatibility evaluations on process materials,
- assemble results into report format, and
- communicate by formal documentation the results of the compatibility evaluations to the Material Test Coordinator (MTC).
This web site provides an overview of the various applications and capabilities provided by the MTL, and it also provides lists of publications by Team Members and links to images from Poster Sessions presented by the staff. Within each application, we have provided links to major contacts for each area. Click a link on the left-hand navigation bar to explore a section in greater detail.
