Today, the testing side of the business includes Mechanical, Fracture Mechanics, Chemical, Metallurgical, Corrosion and Nondestructive Testing, root cause Failure Analysis and a complete inhouse Machine Shop for specimen machining. LTI Metrology performs Dimensional Inspection and is a full-service calibration lab providing services for all types of measuring tools, masters, gauges and pressure, force, torque, electrical, temperature, humidity, mass, vacuum and flow instruments. On-site calibration is available to customers throughout much of the PA, NJ, DE and MD areas in the USA. Repairs are also offered and new instruments are sold at the manufacturers' list prices.

LTI was first accredited by A2LA in 1989 for dimensional inspection and added an A2LA accreditation certificate for calibration services in 2001. The scope of services covered by these accreditations has grown extensively over the years and is available to view and download on the company website at http://www.labtesting.com/quality-accreditations.php.
