Alternate Systems was founded as a manufacturer’s representative for non-destructive coating and plating analyzers. In 1988, Alternate Systems began manufacturing metal foil and plated standards for use with energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) coating analyzers, and began offering calibration services for XRF coating analyzers and other non-destructive coating thickness measuring instruments and calibration standards.

Due to client demand, calibration capabilities were expanded to include other measuring instruments and process controls. Alternate Systems began manufacturing Mylar® foil calibration standards for magnetic induction and Eddy current coating thickness measurement instruments in 1994.

Alternate Systems calibrates and services a variety of measuring instruments and process controls with specialization in XRF, Eddy current, and magnetic induction coating thickness measurement, standards, and temperature.

Alternate Systems also provides radiation and laser safety training, radiation surveys, and expert consultation in coating measurement and analysis to aerospace and defense manufacturers, and U.S. National Laboratories.
