WESTMORELAND MECHANICAL TESTING & RESEARCH, INC.

WESTMORELAND MECHANICAL TESTING & RESEARCH, INC. specializes in precision mechanical testing and specialized manufacturing services for defense-critical components. The company delivers high-accuracy material characterization through advanced tensile, compression, and cryogenic V-notch testing, with particular expertise in fastener performance evaluation and fracture mechanics analysis. Their capabilities include pre-crack preparation, axial load testing, and surface grinding using EDM and precision machining techniques to meet stringent military specifications. They combine laboratory testing with in-house machine shop operations to support end-to-end validation of metallurgical properties and dimensional tolerances for aerospace and naval systems, ensuring compliance with ASTM, MIL-STD, and other defense standards. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering technical services aligned with naval, aerospace, and ordnance programs. Work includes material qualification, component testing, and precision fabrication for critical applications where structural integrity under extreme conditions is paramount. Their engagement with NSWC Carderock further underscores alignment with naval surface warfare testing requirements, particularly in mechanical performance validation of hull, propulsion, and weapon system components. Primary focus areas center on testing laboratories and services (NAICS 541380), machine shops (332710), and the manufacturing of precision measuring and controlling devices (334519, 334516). This positions the firm as a niche provider for defense contractors requiring integrated testing and fabrication of high-stress components, particularly in fracture analysis, fatigue testing, and metrology-driven manufacturing. The company is a small, independently operated entity based in Youngstown, Pennsylvania, with no federal certifications on record. Its geographic footprint is localized but strategically aligned with DoD supply chains in the Northeast, serving as a specialized technical partner for complex mechanical validation tasks requiring hands-on engineering expertise and calibrated instrumentation.
