Have you ever had an auditor ask to witness a metallographic preparation and evaluation and a sample wasn’t available? Metallography Reference Kits allow you to use standardized, pre-tested materials to demonstrate preparation techniques for Nadcap auditors. On-site evaluation results can then be compared to the known results for that particular kit. The mounted specimen can be re-polished and evaluated, while the additional raw stock provided allows for preparation from sectioning through evaluation. In addition, the kits can be used for training new personnel and participating in round robin programs. The photomicrographs supplied with each kit can also be used as reference material for evaluations.

The M&P Lab has begun producing sets of Metallography Reference Kits, which are now available for purchase. These kits are standardized materials that have been pre-tested, and are certified and reproducible. They meet the present requirements for Nadcap audits and meet PRI recommendations for the following uses:

  • Audit demonstrations
  • Training new personnel
  • Round robin proficiency testing
  • Reference materials for evaluations

The following items are included with each kit:

  • A mounted, polished specimen
  • Photomicrographs (hard copy and CD)
  • A piece of raw stock
  • Results of evaluation (if applicable)
  • Material certification

We are continuing to develop new reference kits to correspond with the Nadcap checklist. In addition, custom kits to meet specific requirements can be requested. Please call or e-mail The M&P Lab for current availability or to place an order. We now accept credit cards for payment (Visa, Mastercard, or American Express).
