Heat treating services perform thermal treatments to modify the properties of metals and metal alloys. Common processes include annealing, austempering, case hardening, conventional hardening, homogenizing, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), martempering, normalizing, precipitation hardening, shot peening, solution treating, spheroidizing, stabilizing, and stress relieving

Materials processing services providers manufacture mechanically or thermally process metals, ceramics, polymers, glasses or other materials on a contract basis.

Cryogenic equipment produces or is used in the production of very low temperature materials or processes

Chemical and material processing services modify or produce chemicals, powders, foods, minerals, rubber, plastics, adhesives, and other bulk materials on a contractual, toll or fee basis. Common processes include compounding, distillation, drying, formulation, mixing, blending, purification, extraction, synthesis, and powder milling.

Chemical manufacturing and synthesis services providers manufacture or synthesize organic or inorganic chemicals on a contract basis.

Over-the-side heaters are immersion heaters that hang over the side of a tank of heated material.

Flange and screw plug immersion heaters are used in applications that require immersing the heater in the substance to be heated.

Circulation heaters are used to heat moving or circulating fluids.

Dimensional measurement and metrology services use mechanical gaging, CMM measurement, non-contact imaging or other specialized methods to inspect and measure part dimensions and geometry.

Material testing services test, analyze, and certify a wide range of materials for purity, chemical compatibility, and environmental impact.

Gas compressors and systems are used to circulate gas through a process, enhance conditions for chemical reactions, provide inert gas for safety or control systems, recover and recompress process gas, and maintain correct pressure levels by either adding and removing gas or vapors from a process system.

Crystallizers are forced-circulation evaporators.

Property testers are used to determine various physical properties of samples, including distillation, vapor pressure, and cloud, flash, freezing, melting, or pour point.

Tube bending and pipe bending services produce finished parts from tubes and pipes. They perform processes such as CNC bending, hydroforming, mandrel bending, ram bending, roll ending, heat bending, and sand packing.

Industrial liquid handling pumps are classified in many different ways, and are distinguished by the media pumped and the fluid motive mechanism (dynamic or displacement).
