Analytical Services Division Doubles Capacity for Carbon and Sulphur Testing with New Kit
Published: 22nd October 2024
The Analytical Services division of Sheffield Assay Office has successfully doubled its capacity for carbon and sulphur testing by investing in additional analyser equipment.
Inside the CS744 analyser, a portion of the sample is combusted in a stream of oxygen, which oxidises the carbon and sulphur to form CO2 and SO2 which are then detected by the non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) cell.
Our state-of-the-art laboratory now provides elemental testing services to a wide range of industrial sectors such as ferro and non-ferro alloys, precious metals, melting / assaying, costume jewellery and medical devices.
Our most popularly requested services currently are for the testing of cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, tantalum and titanium alloys together with nickel-based materials.
