Experience
Viswa
Lab and its predecessor AS&M lab have been in the business of testing
for over eight years. During this period, petroleum products and engineering
materials have been tested using latest instruments and to the highest
level of quality and accuracy. Innumerable failure analysis studies
have been carried out to determine the cause of material failure and
fuel related failure.
Viswa
Lab has created a niche position for itself with a one stop shop concept
of chemical testing, mechanical testing, destructive testing, non-destructive
testing to determine the cause of a failure or the prognosis of a machinery
related problem. It will not be necessary for a customer to go to four
different places to get all aspects of a failure analyzed.
