AMPTEC Research
Intrinsically safe electro-explosive and igniter testing
AMPTEC Research (founded 1997, Texas, USA) manufactures intrinsically safe test instruments for electro-explosive devices: igniter and squib testers, failsafe ohmmeters, and electrical bonding and ground continuity testers. The instruments are used in defense, aerospace, mining and blasting, automotive airbag and pyrotechnics work, where the resistance of an electro-explosive device must be measured safely in a flammable or explosive atmosphere. All products are built under ISO 9001:2015, carry UL-913 intrinsic safety certification, meet MIL-STD-810 and ship with NIST-traceable calibration. They are trusted by NASA and the US Air Force and were used on the NASA DART planetary defense mission. AMPTEC is Made in USA and a WBENC-certified woman-owned business. Evencat is the sole distributor for AMPTEC Research in Taiwan.
