About this technology
Overview
National Perforating Corporation (NPC) is a supplier of perforated metals, plastics, and other materials. In production of screens, walkways, and other products for all industries, NPC sought to determine the safe loading of such perforated metal products. NERAC supplied NPC an informational package which included the identification of a firm that already accomplished test and evaluation of the strengths of perforated materials. Using the information available from that firm saved NPC money and time.
