Massachusetts Materials Technology (MMT) was founded in 2014 based on advanced research in contact mechanics, material science and data analytics at MIT.  The concept known as frictional sliding has transformed the way material properties are accurately and reliably measured non-destructively.  The Hardness, Strength, and Ductility (HSD) tester was designed, and MMT was established to introduce these advancements to the oil & gas pipeline industry.

Since then—and with the help of numerous investors, government grants, joint industry programs, and many satisfied customers—MMT continues to enhance the robustness of HSD instrumentation, advance data analytic capabilities for material property measurement, and push the boundaries on new material measurement capabilities with our Nondestructive Toughness Tester (NDTT).

As technologies at MMT continue to evolve, and the robustness of instrumentation and analytic capabilities and accuracy continues to improve, our team continues to grow.  Relationships with pipeline operators and NDE service providers continue to drive our mission beyond technology innovation—to provide the highest quality training, certification and support programs our customers and partners demand.
