Costs: General Info

You can come and use the equipment at the CAPT Center, or we offer surface roughness measurements, optical testing , and other contract measurement services. Use of the facility should be reserved in advance and the use of any particular item is subject to availability. Call your CAPT representative to schedule usage and assure availability.

CAPT Facility Rates depend on three factors: the sophistication of the equipment that is being utilized (Equipment Classification); the commitment to use the equipment over a period of time; and CAPT Membership status. See our complete Equipment List and Classification.

# Terms Net 15 days with approved credit
* Payment due in advance (days use may be non-contiguous)
Non CAPT Members pay a 50% premium

Usage Discount

The CAPT Facility Rate Schedule provides discounts for long-term usage from the hourly rate. If equipment is utilized for 1 full day (8 hours), an automatic discount of 20% will be extended to the user.

Weekly and monthly rates are also available at substantial discounts. The benefit of these rates is that they apply to 40 hours of usage for the weekly rate and 176 hours of usage for the monthly rate. The usage dates do not have to be contiguous. This payment approach offers the opportunity for long term planning and provides flexibility that standard lease programs cannot provide. The weekly and monthly usage fees must be paid in full in advance.
