WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE DO & WHOM WE SERVE
The Met-L-Chek Company was incorporated in 1952 by Loy W. Sockman, the holder of the first USA visible dye penetrant patent. Since its beginning, Met-L-Chek® personnel have always been heavily involved in advancing penetrant inspection technology and in the writing of specifications dealing with the manufacture and proper use of the inspection materials. From Loy Sockman's participation in development of the first version of MIL-I-25135 to work by Bill Mooz in creation of AMS-2644, to participation by Mike White in the creation and maintenance of ASTM E-1417, Met-L-Chek® has been present. William Mooz, president of Met-L-Chek®, has a metallurgy degree from MIT, holds several patents, and is a licensed professional engineer in California. Bill began his NDT career under Werner von Braun at the Redstone Arsenal.
