Chemical Testing

Chemical analysis characterizes the chemical components in a material which helps to identify unknown materials or verify that the material meets the required conditions.

Chemical Testing can provide a wealth of information about a sample’s quality and chemical composition, including trace metals and impurities. Testing is performed with high-tech instrumentation that can also identify unknowns.

Let the SDTCL help you comply with regulatory and safety requirements. Our experts can determine the composition or elemental make-up of your metals, alloys and other materials. SDTCL’s top-of-the-line chemical testing equipment is very efficient and provides fast, reliable reporting of test results.

The chemical composition of materials is determined using spectral analysis under laboratory conditions that detect the full spectrum of elements and have detection limits in the “parts per million” range for many metals, even “parts per trillion” for some.

Our chemical testing capabilities cover metals, ores, ferroalloys, composites, ceramics and polymers.

SDTCL also performs testing on metals to determine susceptibility to corrosion. The list of services provided for corrosion testing include accelerated intergranular corrosion, passivation, humidity, salt spray and salt fog methods performed according to ASTM and industry standards.
