Experience

Viswa Lab and its predecessor AS&M lab have been in the business of testing for over eight years. During this period, petroleum products and engineering materials have been tested using latest instruments and to the highest level of quality and accuracy. Innumerable failure analysis studies have been carried out to determine the cause of material failure and fuel related failure.

Viswa Lab has created a niche position for itself with a one stop shop concept of chemical testing, mechanical testing, destructive testing, non-destructive testing to determine the cause of a failure or the prognosis of a machinery related problem. It will not be necessary for a customer to go to four different places to get all aspects of a failure analyzed.
