Overview

We measure each sample’s chemical composition with X-ray fluorescence and report it in writing. Use it to identify unknown or mixed-up stock, or as part of an API RP 578 material verification program.

The minimum charge covers testing and reporting on one item. Additional items are assessed and quoted before any work begins.

Once the initial charge is paid, we contact you within one business day to arrange receipt of your samples. Samples can be returned at your cost or disposed of once you have accepted the results.
