Structure Testing

At Fastener Innovation Technology, Inc. we offer a full spectrum of services designed to deliver high-quality, high value fasteners to the aerospace and defense industries.
As part of the Avantus Group, we at Fastener Innovation Technology, Inc. (FIT) are pleased to be able to offer a range of in-house services to ensure that every fastener we produce meets or exceeds our own high standards, as well as client expectations and industry requirements.

There is no space for error in the aerospace and defense industry, with a burden of accuracy and functionality placed on every part, no matter how seemingly small and insignificant it may appear to be. Our skilled technicians call upon decades of experience and cutting edge technology to allow them to design, produce and test fasteners of unrivalled quality and value.

Structure testing
Although relatively small and low cost, aerospace fasteners perform a vital function, joining two or more components securely together in a way that enables optimal functionality and security. Fasteners are particularly useful when using materials that cannot otherwise be fastened together, such as aluminum and some composites.

The primary load born by fasteners is usually transferred via the bearing or shear forces which develop between the fastener and the hole in the mating parts. By undertaking comprehensive structural testing, it is possible to assess a fastener’s, and its adjoining structures’, resistance to the extreme stressors which are commonplace within aerospace and military engineering.

Certified processes
We are committed to operating to a high standard, regardless of the size or complexity of each order. We possess full relevant industry accreditations and certifications, including AS9100: D and NADCAP NDT. What’s more, our stringent in-house checks enable us to ensure that we maintain compliance and that we meet all applicable regulations.

Our full in-house capabilities allow us to offer a streamlined service, ensuring that tested and certified products and assemblies arrive at our clients’ storage facilities or production lines, when they are needed.
