Specialized Solutions, Custom, and Collaborative Programs
Not every testing need fits neatly into a single category. Some customer or proprietary specifications require testing that isn’t fully described by standard ASTM methods, or they demand a combination of supporting tests and a custom approach. At APL, we understand that you may need testing that falls outside standard categories, or a customized plan designed for a unique R&D project. We pride ourselves on being a collaborative partner-if you have a unique requirement, we are here to help you engineer a testing solution. Our flexible approach allows us to support both standard qualification work and specialized investigations that go beyond a traditional test menu-while maintaining clear documentation and transparency in reporting.
We encourage you to contact us with your specific needs. We can review your specifications and prints to recommend a tailored test plan that balances accuracy, turnaround time, and cost.
