We need to perform some flexural testing on marble panels (ASTM C-880).

An associate and friend of mine in Chicago wants/needs to have some flexural testing done on marble panels (ASTM C-880). Can anyone recommend a testing lab to do this? (I don't know if the stone can travel so assume it can.) I recommended a number of conservators but his client wants to go straight to the lab and bypass anything a conservator might add to the discussion. Not my choice.

Any suggestions and advice are welcome.

Thanks,
