How to avoid common mistakes
Even the most experienced of us make mistakes, whether we like to believe it or not! We are human, after all. Knowing what mistakes we are making and how to avoid them can save a lot of trouble down the line. In the materials testing world, one important question that needs to be asked is:
“Are you getting inconsistent results even though you are using the same method, testing machine, operator, or material in your tests?”
After being contacted for assistance by many customers, we created the Secrets of Reliable Testing training course. In this course, we teach you how to avoid the common mistakes leading to inconsistent results in materials testing.
At the end of the course, you will be fully equipped with the knowledge that your future tests will be consistent, accurate, and repeatable.
