Spectrographic analysis is radically
different from
the usual wet chemical method. The sample, as a solid,
liquid, or
powder, is “fired” and the light spectrum produced
is
photographed on a film or plate, which provides a permanent record of
the elements, qualitatively and quantitatively.
This method has several unique advantages. The most important is that
qualitatively, 72 of the 100 odd elements can be determined
simultaneously. Two photographic spectrographs are used for
qualitative and quantitative analysis of metals and non-metals.
Our advanced equipment allows us to offer our customers the fastest,
most accurate and economical chemical analysis on samples suitable for
instrument analysis.
Testing Available:
- Qualitative Examination
- Any material; all detected elements (cations) are reported with a tenfold concentration estimate and will provide a general over all survey of an unknown specimen
- Requires only 0.001 grams of a material
- Semi-Qualitative Analysis
- All detected elements (cations) are reported with a
specific
concentrational value that should be within a factor of two of
the
quantitative analysis
- Alloy Identification
- spectrographic classification of unknown materials giving
ASTM, SAE,
AISI, ect designation
- Solder Analysis
- quantitative analysis of Tin plus semi-quantitative
analysis for
possible contaminants
