In Stock Exotic and Refractory Metal Specials

The research lab industry constantly evolves, driven by a growing demand for scientific and technological advancement. Successful experimentation must ensure material integrity, safety, performance, and compliance with strict environmental and operational regulations.

These standards typically focus on aspects like purity, quality, and durability to guarantee that refractory metals meet the demanding conditions of high-stakes research applications. Because research labs serve multiple industries and extreme environments, there are more than average standards and requirements on this list.

Research Lab Standards and Requirements:

• ASTM International (American Society of Mechanical Engineers): Standards for materials used in energy applications.
• SAE Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS, formerly known as the Society of Automotive Engineers or SAE)
• ASME BPVC (Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code): Guidelines for materials used in pressure vessels and reactors.
• Department of Defense (DoD) Military Standards or Military Specifications (MIL) on the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) ASSIST Database
