Emc2 Lab
The new lab finished construction in June 2007.  The new lab gives Emc2 even more experimental capabilities.  Examples of the types of testing that can now be performed onsite include:
  • Tensile tests at various temperature
  • Laboratory fracture specimen tests
    {C(T), SEN(B), SEN(T) specimens}
  • Creep tests
Lab Equipment
