Ammunition Testing Services Chesapeake Testing offers ammunition testing in accordance with SAAMI, FBI, and NATO protocols. Our in-house calibration system allows for greater repeatability in testing, more accurate data sets, and fast turn-around time. In-house Calibration System From our state-of-the-art laboratory in northeastern Maryland (near Aberdeen Proving Ground), we use the latest testing and measurement equipment, and highly experienced personnel to effic iently meet our customer's performance schedule, and cost requirements. Types of Testing: • Pressure • Velocity • Proof • Cook-off • Environmental • Less-than-lethal • Projectile Characterization • Quality Control Inspection • Corrosive Primer • Primer Sensitivity Turnkey system that provides high pressure calibration up to 100,000 psi (689 MPa). Piezoelectric Transducers • Fast, micro-second response time • Resonant frequency to ≥500 kHz • Measures small pressure changes at high static pressure levels • Rugged solid state construction For more information, please call Kevin Black or Kyle North at (410) 297-8154 email: [email protected] [email protected] A NVLAP (lab code: 200820-0) and A2LA (#3369.01) ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited; NIJ approved laboratory chesapeaketesting.com Ammunition Testing Services Chesapeake Testing also offers a full range of NDT testing services: • X-ray Computed Tomography • Digital Radiography • Ultrasound • Visual Inspection • Die Penetrant • Magnetic Particle XCT Scanning Chesapeake Testing operates one of the most powerful high-resolution XCT systems in use today. The large walk-in bay 450kV micro-focus system enables large objects (up to 37 inches in diameter) to be imaged with extremely high resolution. This system, combined with Chesapeake Testing’s other XCT systems and state-of-the-art processing and visualization tools, allow XCT to be applied to numerous industries. Chesapeake Testing also has production scanning capabilities, allowing for quick, cost effective quality control.
