The various testing capabilities are often used to check conformance to ISO material and processing specification requirements.
The Garlock Compression Packing facility has the capability to perform a range of in-house chemical and physical testing exercises. These tests are used to qualify or to check the conformance of incoming raw materials as an aid to in-process checks, or as a final qualification check to ensure that finished products meet the customer's agreed upon specifications. Whenever possible and practical, Garlock performs its testing programs in conformance with existing ASTM procedures.
Examples of testing capabilities are:
- Wet chemical testing
- Weight loss determination
- Exposure - radiation, argon, etc.
