ATRONA Test Labs follows rigorous procedure focused on investigating the problems and arriving at logical hypothesis. In pursuit of the truth we typically conduct a test protocol that is designed to address the failure analysis at hand. We typically will document the failure in the as received condition and describe in detail what we start with. In some instances root cause of the failure is located away from the fracture. We look for any sign of wear, contact, abuse, tip loading, misalignment, etc., before we begin the analysis documenting all findings with photography and descriptions. Along the way we may contact our customer to address certain results and to ask questions. Although we do not like releasing preliminary reports that are not verified, we work with our customers to update them with information along the way as their schedule requires. At the conclusion of the analysis we normally follow up to answer any question and to make sure the customer understands the report. Our formal failure analysis reports are easy to follow and contain sections for each property. Compared to other test reports, we're confident you will like our style and flow.
