Chemical Testing Services

Chemical testing services are designed to evaluate the composition, quality, safety, and performance of a wide range of industrial materials including oils, lubricants, paints, chemicals, coal, pigments, and construction-related products. These services ensure compliance with industry standards while helping identify contaminants, improve product efficiency, and maintain consistency in manufacturing processes.

For lubricating oils such as lube oil, gear oil, and hydraulic oil, testing includes key parameters like rust preventing characteristics, saponification value, sulphated ash, total acid number (TAN), total base number (TBN), viscosity index, air release value, chlorine content, copper strip corrosion, sulphur content, yeast and molds, NAS value, wear debris analysis, and trace elemental analysis. These tests help determine lubrication efficiency, contamination levels, and overall oil health.

In grease testing, properties such as copper strip corrosion, drop point, evaporation loss, free alkalinity, free organic acidity, insoluble content (pentane and toluene), kinematic viscosity of base oil, oil content, sulphated ash, trace elements, worked and unworked consistency, ash content, inorganic acidity, moisture and volatile matter, oil separation, and saponification value are evaluated to ensure stability and performance under varying operating conditions.

For furnace oil, testing covers organic and inorganic acidity, Conradson carbon residue, sediment content, sulphur levels, kinematic viscosity, water content, flash point, gross calorific value (GCV), NAS value, wear debris, and trace elemental analysis, ensuring fuel efficiency and combustion quality.

Coolant testing focuses on parameters such as pH, reserve alkalinity, specific gravity, water content, corrosion resistance, pour point, and freezing point to ensure proper thermal management and system protection.

In paint and coating analysis, a wide range of tests are conducted including cross-cut adhesion, dry film thickness, drying time (surface dry, hard dry, tack free), durability, fineness of grind, finish, flash point, flexibility and adhesion (bend test, scratch hardness, cupping test), gloss value, impact resistance, humidity resistance, iron content, keeping properties, mass per litre, pencil hardness, residue on sieve, and resistance to acid, alkali, heat, and salt spray. Advanced testing also includes hazardous substance analysis such as RoHS, ELV, lead content, VOC, REACH compliance, solvent analysis (MEK, toluene, ethanol, hexane), polymer identification, and filler analysis.

For coke and coal, testing includes proximate and ultimate analysis, hard groove index, ash fusion temperature, and ash chemical composition to determine fuel quality and combustion characteristics.

Fine chemicals and fertilizers are analyzed through agrochemical testing, trace chemical analysis, specialty chemical testing, density measurement, REACH compliance, active ingredient formulation analysis, contamination detection, extractable and leachable studies, morphology and particle analysis, reverse engineering, stability testing, surfactant analysis, heavy metal detection, and detailed characterization.

In pigment testing, parameters such as freedom from lead and organic matter, loss on ignition, oil absorption, relative density, residue on sieve, and water-soluble chlorides and sulphates are evaluated to ensure quality and safety.

For ceramics, minerals, and ores, testing includes dimensional analysis, modulus of rupture (MOR), asbestos detection, crazing resistance, hazard analysis (RoHS compliance), chemical composition, specific gravity, XRD analysis, and lead and cadmium leaching tests to assess structural integrity and material composition.

These comprehensive chemical testing services are conducted using advanced instruments and standardized methodologies, ensuring accurate, reliable, and compliant results for diverse industrial applications.
