Developed by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) in coordination with the Department of Defense (DOD), the National Aerospace Standards (NAS) were developed to ensure quality and material selection can meet performance standards.
The ITS laboratory maintains these testing standards to ensure materials and components can withstand real-world situations for the intended industry and purpose.
Importance of NASM Testing
The DOD has converted over 500 military standard (MIL-STD) services to include NAS prefixes — NASM (inch-based) and NAM (metric-based).
NASM testing standards are used to ensure the quality of MIL-STD parts, such as fasteners and rivets.
Producing components for industries — like the military and aerospace, requires a thorough and rigorous testing procedure.
These NASM testing procedures aim to determine the life cycle verification, failure analysis, and service reliability.
Whether you need individual fasteners or fastening systems tested, our engineering staff is ready to determine how the component or material will handle functioning in its intended environment.
ITS can provide the necessary atmospheric heat treatment required for the test samples, in addition to elevated temperature tensile and stress rupture expertise.
Importance of MIL Standard Testing
Military standard testing is defined as uniform engineer and technical requirements that equipment and tools must be tested against.
The testing phase is essential as it can determine any potential failures while the military equipment is in use.
Ensuring these standards are met during each phase of the testing process helps to minimize the chances of a malfunction in real-world conditions and that it performs as intended.
The thoroughness and depths established by these testing standards makes it the only method reliable to test military equipment.
NASM Testing Lab
The engineering team at ITS adheres to the strict NASM testing standards to ensure quality and safety are met.
Our laboratory is outfitted with the equipment and standards needed to test the aluminum, titanium, and high nickel alloys common in the aerospace industry.
In a situation where a custom test is needed, our engineers have the ability to build a test tailored to suit the needs of the project.
