Testing & Analysis
There are many reasons why you might need independent, quality, reliable testing and analysis:
- Material characterisation
- QA/QC
- Product specification
- Fitness for purpose
- Comparison of alternative suppliers
- Standards compliance
- Failure analysis.
From our fully independent UKAS ISO 17025:2005 accredited laboratory in the UK and our CERAM accredited overseas laboratories we offer:
- Chemical analysis – bulk chemistry by XRF, trace elements, identification of deleterious components, bespoke testing as required
- Mineralogical analysis – particle size analysis, surface area, oil absorption, chemical leaching, solubility and reactivity
- Heavy minerals analysis – identification of heavy minerals separates from materials, including sand
- Physical analysis – strength, hardness, reactivity, density
- Batch conformity testing.
We provide sourcing and stockpile type sampling on site and mineral sample preparation, including standard sample preparation packages, sampling, drying, crushing and core cutting.
