Test capability map

Lab Network

Accredited and candidate lab roles for compression, thermal cycling, abrasion, dust release, feedstock identity, radiation reports, and repair testing.

Lab evidence network

Testing needs capabilities, not vague claims.

LMC treats lab capability as a certified input. A lab can be strong in compression testing but still not qualified for dust-release, thermal cycling, radiation reporting, or robotic repair evidence.

LAB-MMechanical

Compression, flexural, shear, impact, failure-mode imaging, lot statistics.

LAB-TThermal

Vacuum thermal cycling, retained strength, spall count, crack density, mass loss.

LAB-DDust

Abrasion, particle release, fine fraction, electrostatic adhesion, contamination handling.

LAB-FFeedstock

Particle distribution, mineralogy, elemental composition, volatiles, glass fraction.

LAB-RRadiation

Density, areal mass, attenuation reports, simulation metadata, shield-equivalent reporting.

LAB-XRepair + Robotics

Patch performance, robotic reseatability, joint contamination, repeated repair cycles.

Sample handling

Evidence starts before the first test.

LMC lab records should preserve sample identity, lot traceability, pre-test condition, test environment, failure images, and post-test mass or dust release.

01Receive

Lot ID, count, geometry, mass, storage state, and visible condition.

02Prepare

Specimen dimensions, surface condition, cure/sinter age, and environmental exposure.

03Test

Method, instrument, operator, load path, atmosphere, temperature, and result.

04Record

Failure images, raw files, calculated fields, Evidence record fingerprint, and certificate mapping.

Lab candidate record

Register a capability claim.

Lab matching

A lab is qualified by capability, not reputation alone.

LMC routes evidence to the right capability family before a certificate decision is made.
