An Electronics Inc. staff member tests Almen strips hardness. EI is responsible for every aspect of the manufacturing process to ensure that our strips are of consistent quality and give repeatable results.

Note: our strips are inspected in compliance with SAE standards which requires use of the #2 Almen gage for pre-bow measurements. Any other equipment, such as laser measurements, does not meet the requirements of SAE J 442 or AMS 2430. Laboratory tests have shown significant differences (errors) with strips measured with laser equipment.
