Materials expertise and precision scientific research
SPRG is a laboratory dealing with materials, their structure, methods of production and processing. We perform independent materials science expertise and scientific researches.
Areas of our activity:
- Determination of a material quality, the causes of faults and defects.
- Reverse engineering of materials production technology.
- Scientific information obtained by non-trivial ways.
- Forensic examination for arbitral and civil cases.
- Reviewing of expert reports realized by other organizations.
We solve these problems by applying a set of non-standard precise methods of physical materials science using unique equipment, knowledge and experience.
