Testing

Full range of materials testing services

Turning Ideas into Structures

FRAME provides material testing services covering a wide range of products. We assist our client with materials selection, application, performance testing, and classifications

FRAME has a vast experience in using both destructive and non-destructive means to gain valuable insights on the properties and performance of various materials. Our comprehensive approach allows the assessment of not only the strength and durability but also the safety and compliance of the materials for their intended applications.
