Introduction

Specimen Preparation in Chennai

Why Accurate Specimen Preparation Matters

Before any ASTM or ISO test is conducted, the material must be shaped, notched, or molded to precise specifications. Errors in thickness, notch depth, or surface finish can cause:

  • Test failures

  • Data variability

  • Rejection in quality audits

That’s why Kiyo R&D Center & Laboratory prioritizes dimensional accuracy, standard compliance, and repeatability in every specimen prepared.
