(PRWEB) December 16, 2005 -- Laboratory Testing Inc. (LTI) has expanded its scope of accreditation in calibration services with the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). Accreditation was previously granted to the company and its calibration division, LTI Metrology, to perform calibration of a wide range of standards, gages, hand tools and torque wrenches and to perform dimensional testing.

A2LA recently approved the renewal and expansion of LTI’s calibration accreditation and also re-approved LTI for dimensional testing. Both accreditation certificates are valid to March 31, 2007.

With the expanded scope of accreditation in calibration, the ranges for previously approved instruments have been increased. LTI also added height gages, radius gages, balances, mass and pressure calibrations, and field calibration of optical comparators, surface plates, and Rockwell hardness testers to the scope of accreditation.

Laboratory Testing Inc. of Hatfield, PA, is an independent laboratory specializing in materials testing, specimen machining, failure analysis and materials-engineering services. LTI Metrology performs dimensional, mass, pressure, force, torque, and vacuum calibrations traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), as well as field service for surface plates, optical comparators, hardness testers, scales/balances, testing machines and hand tools.
