The laboratory has a wide range of Internationally Certified Standards, across all the bases which are used as a cross reference to all analysis.  The spectrograph is capable of analysing moderately sixed samples, as well as smaller samples with a cross section of 8mm. The laboratory is equipped to spectrographically analyse wire samples down to a diameter of 2.0mm.  This method of analysis allows for very little damage to a component, which is beneficial when a machined component needs to be analysed and cannot be destroyed or damaged.
