___ Analytics

All of our cesium, titanium, zirconium and barium products are manufactured under DIN EN ISO 9001 guidelines and are accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and/or Certificate of Conformance (CoC). CoA's/CoC's show key impurities and/or performance related physical parameters of our products.
Standard analytic procedures include ICP, HGA, AAS, FES, UV-Vis, IR, IC DSC, potentiometry, titrimetry, gravimetry, density measurements and others.
For cesium trace and ultratrace analytics, specific rounding rules are in force - please find the explanation in the box Related Topics and Links.

To guarantee the quality of our titanium and zirconium products, we also carry out several specific testing methods which are described below:

Determination of Ti metal content and total Ti content by combustion (gain on ignition / oxidation value)

Calculation of Zr metal content and total Zr content by combustion

Determination of the ignition gain in Zr metal powders, powdered Zr/Ni alloys and ZrH2

Determination of the ignition point of titanium and zirconium metal powders

Determination of the combustion rate of titanium and zirconium metal powders

Determination of average particle size (according to Blaine)

Determination of hydrogen content of TiH2 or ZrH2 powder by dehydrogenation

Determination of the specific surface of powdered solids by BET measurements

Determination of zirconium and nickel content in Zr/Ni-alloys

Determination of grain size distribution by laser diffraction measurements

ICP-spectrometric determination of foreign atoms in Ti products

ICP-spectrometric determination of foreign atoms in Zr products

For more information on any of the above mentioned analytical methods, please specify your request in our Information Request Form. Should you consider our standard methods not sufficient to describe your product, we may offer additional or modified analytical methods on request.
