One of the cornerstones of NTS’ work in smart grid has been our certification program for the ZigBee Alliance. One of ZigBee’s largest and most popular application profiles is the ZigBee Smart Energy standard. NTS is the largest certifier of all ZigBee products, and has completed certification for over 85% of the Smart Energy products certified by the ZigBee Alliance. We have developed test tools to assist in the pre-certification of new devices for manufacturers, as well as validation of devices for utilities. In addition, NTS also has been selected by USNAP to perform certification testing for smart appliance manufacturers.

Fluid power systems play a critical role in many industries, and are one of the three major forms of power transmission along with electrical and mechanical power systems. In many cases, however, mechanical and electrical methods cannot provide a practical power transmission solution. In these cases, fluid power (whether hydraulic or pneumatic) is often used because it can deliver linear and rotary motion with high force and torque within a smaller, lighter package than is possible with other forms of power transmission. Some of the most common applications of hydraulic systems are in heavy construction and off-highway equipment. Other applications can be seen in aircraft, mass transportation systems (such as trains), construction, mining, agriculture, waste reduction, and utility equipment. The various components (such as valves, actuators, cylinders, accumulators, etc.) that make up these systems must perform reliably and have a reasonable life span. Only a thorough test program carried out under simulated field use conditions can insure that any component part or assembly will meet its original design goals for performance, reliability and longevity. Many internationally recognized organizations have published test standards that apply to hydraulic/pneumatic and fluid power systems and components. Some of these organizations are:

What is environmental simulation testing? Simply put, simulated test environments are all about preparing products for real-world use. This is accomplished by gaining as much testing experience and performance data as early as possible during the products’ lifecycles. Simulated environmental testing usually involves creating artificial environments for test items to determine their expected resilience to their anticipated environments.

NTS is equipped to test optical fiber, cable and active/passive components and systems. At NTS we test against a variety of specifications including Telcordia, Military, TIA/EIA, and ISO. We also perform customized test programs against specifications or test plans developed with or for our customers. Our in-house Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) can also help develop and present customized training programs to address a variety of our customer’s needs. Testing is not our only area of expertise; our Consulting Services are available to assist manufacturers in designing, troubleshooting, and delivering a quality product to market. Our goal is simple: to help our clients make the most efficient use of their products in their systems, network designs and deployments. NTS has invested heavily in optical equipment – our overall chamber capacity is one of the largest in North America. We have recently tripled our switch capacity by adding new high channel count JDS and EXFO switches which allows us to run multiple single mode and multi-mode programs simultaneously. Our lab is outfitted to make spectral measurements using tunable lasers, OSAs, white light sources and monochromator based systems.

The importance of materials testing cannot be underestimated. Across every major industry, manufacturers, developers and operators of critically important systems, products and components need to be assured that the materials employed in forming their equipment are up to their intended tasks. That’s why the most diligent method of verifying that the materials companies use in manufacturing processes will perform to expectations and adhere to all applicable regulations is through reliable materials testing.
