Facility Layout

ACTI resides in a 100,000 sq.ft, facility built for aerospace manufacturing with approximately 11,000 sq.ft. of clean room space and approximately 1,100 sq.ft. for a controlled environment test laboratory.

ACTI has received all necessary approvals for an additional 140,000
sq. ft. of facilities to be added to the campus.

Autoclaves

ACTI operates and maintains two Thermal Equipment autoclaves. T1 is 10 feet in diameter and 40 feet long. It is capable of sustaining 850 degrees Fahrenheit at 250 PSI. T2 is 8 feet in diameter and 30 feet long. It is capable of sustaining 800 degrees Fahrenheit at 200 PSI. Both autoclaves utilize control software with both computerized and manual backup systems. All instruments are calibrated and traceable to NIST standards. Back To Top
