2. History | Cross-section, Grain flow, Grain direction, Fractography
Constellation was incorporated in Florida in September 1992 by Dr. Carl Rester who was at that
time director of a federally funded research institute at the University of Florida. Building on the
institute’s successes, Constellation opened its doors for business in St. Petersburg, FL in June
1993 and began an expansion into the former Dept. of Energy (DOE) Pinellas Plant, now known
as the STAR (Pinellas County Young/Rainey Science Technology & Research) Center, with the
opening of its crystal products laboratory in October 1995. Constellation completed its
relocation into the STAR Center in the last quarter of 1996 and completed integrating all of the

4. Chemical Analysis | Incoming Materials Inspection | (727) 547-0600
Constellation Technology uses advanced instrumentation to provide quantitative elemental
analysis for a wide variety of materials. These materials may be solids, powders, or liquids;
organics or inorganics; high-purity metals or complex metal alloys. The test results can be used
for material verification or unknown material identification.
5. Mechanical Analysis, Tensile Testing, Plating Thickness (727) 547-0600
Constellation Technology provides a complete range of mechanical testing that includes:
metallographic evaluations, performance testing, failure analysis, strength, and discontinuity
testing. Constellation Technology is fully capable of providing a wide variety of testing disciplines
to help solve your Measurement – Analysis – Solution needs.
6. Reverse Engineering, Flame Retardant Testing, Phthalate Testing
Constellation Technology performs complete Metrology services. Our world class inspection
laboratory provides accurate and precise measurements. The analysis is provided in a
responsive, timely, and competitive manner. Precise measurement equipment, such as
Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), are utilized to discriminate within 10 percent of the
total tolerance spread for the feature being inspected.
7. Non-Destructive Testing, Quality Inspection, RT/PT Inspection | NAS 410
Nondestructive testing techniques allow inspection of parts without damaging or changing their
characteristic properties. Testing methods are employed to investigate the material integrity of
test objects and to detect discontinuities in test samples that might be detrimental to its safe
operation. Parts are routinely inspected to verify workmanship requirements and to detect
discontinuities such as cracks, voids, porosity and inclusions. In addition the testing techniques
are used to analyze material properties, monitor the operation of internal mechanisms, and
determine the integrity of bonds between materials.
