Services

AMS provides laboratory and field testing, calibration, and troubleshooting services for a variety of applications in process and power industries. The laboratory services are provided at AMS’ headquarters for equipment, sensors, and components that are sent from the customer.
 
Field services are performed by teams of AMS experts that are sent to customer facilities with the necessary test equipment and procedures to perform the work and collect the test data. The data is either analyzed on-site or brought back to AMS for analysis. The results are provided in written reports documenting the details of the work performed, the raw data, results of analysis, and conclusion of the tests.
