The analyse: the essential tool.

Whether to characterise a product (fuel, lubricant, antifreeze…), to follow its ageing and contamination, to check its conformity to specifications or requirements, the analytical laboratory is the essential tool. It is also a support to performance tests (characteristics evolution after artificial ageing…) and environmental tests (preparations checking, physic-chemical parameters evolution…)

Its qualified laboratory staff have a comprehensive selection of test equipment available to perform the necessary testing:

• viscosimeters (kinematic, dynamic, HT-HS,…);

• titrators (TAN, TBN, Karl Fisher,…);

• spectrometers (ICP-OES, X-Ray fluorescence, AAS);

• spectrophotometers (FTIR, UV-Visible);

• chromatographs (GC, HPLC); • CHN analyser;

• cold properties determination apparatus;

• …

All those parameters are analysed according to standardized methods AFNOR, ASTM, CEC, DIN, EN, ISO, NBN.
