Meadowbrook R&D

We are currently working on bringing affordable NDE test pieces to the market. There is a monopoly of test pieces with known flaws in the industry. Meadowbrook Labs department manufactures defect plates for ultrasonic inspection along with calibration blocks. Our goal is to allow the employee to purchase flaws in a price range any tech can afford. These test pieces will all be built with a single flaw and represent specific defects found in the field. This will allow technicians to study and understand the signals from individual features. The benefits will build confidence with technicians in the field and also build the quality of inspectors in the industry.
