Chemical Analysis

SPECTROCHEMICAL ANALYSIS: by optical emission spectroscopy (OES),  ICP·AES spectroscopy (ICP), and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), wavelength dispersive method, for testing

METALS & ALLOYS

  • Steel; alloy steel;  stainless steel; super stainless; nickel; monel; inconel; incoloy; copper; brass; bronze; aluminum; cobalt, lead; tin; zinc;
    babbit; tin; copper-nickel; hastelloy; titanium; corrosion & heat resistant alloys, hadfield steel and ferroalloys.
  • Geological materials, ceramics, glass, soil, waste materials, scale and deposits.
  • Carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen by combustion (ASTM E1019)
  • Oil analysis in aircraft, marine, heavy equipment, auto, diesel engines for wear metals.  Tests to check for TBN, TAN, viscosity,  water, glycol and fuel dilution are available for troubleshooting.

QUANTITATIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS:

  • Classical wet method analysis for small parts, chip samples
  • Referee analysis
  • Precious metals and fire assay
  • Pharmaceutical materials and product by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS)
  • Drinking water and waste water analysis;  filter analysis for metals
  • Carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen by combustion (ASTM E1019)
  • Lead and Cadmium release in ceramic and stoneware
  • Trace metals in raw materials and product
  • Lead in paint chips and toys 

X-RAY DIFFRACTION (XRD):

  • Identification of chemical species, phases and formulations of solids, powders, scales, residues, corrosion products, material collected on filters and inorganic substances.
  • Determination of delta ferrite and retained austenite (ASTM E975, SAE SP453)
  • USP analysis
  • Identification of asbestos in geologic materials (egTalc),  insulation, floor tile, siding
  • Identification of water deposits (ASTM D934)

OPTICAL EMISSION SPECTROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS (OES):

  • Semi quantitative analysis for elemental content of miscellaneous solids, liquids, powders, scales,residues, corrosion products
