Systems integration expertise is valuable for innovative high-temperature testing because it reduces data variability and allows for fewer tests in order to achieve accurate results. Grips, extensometers, furnaces, and environmental chambers are potential sources of experimental error. Variability that arises from these components tends to be systemic, so solving an issue with one tends to raise issues with another.
