In no other industry is reliability more emphasized. The risk associated with the failure of key components is beyond measure. IMR provides a range of services designed to support both the Quality Control efforts as well as the materials and product engineering efforts of many suppliers of mission critical components. As a Nadcap Approved laboratory, IMR maintains a strict Quality System with tight control of all aspects of testing from sample tracking and data management to calibration and test methodology. We have extensive experience with reciprocating and turbine engine components and materials, airframe materials (including sealants), and thermal spray coatings.
