Electrical Testing

Electrical TestingAt ARC Technologies, a Hexcel company, we have the unique ability to customize. Standard products may have electromagnetic interference issues caused by radio frequency that cannot be remedied with ordinary solutions.We have engineers with extensive experience in materials testing and characterization from an electromagnetic perspective. We are subject matter experts when it comes to testing permittivity and permeability. ARC’s experience with electromagnetic theory allows them to complete quality electrical testing in a timely manner.

Electrical Characterization of Materials
