What is Carbon, Nitrogen and Sulphur Analysis?

Chemical Analysis of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Sulphur is essential for understanding the composition, properties, and behaviour of various materials and environmental samples.

At BES Group, we carry out Carbon, Nitrogen and Sulphur Analysis using specialised LECO analytical equipment. These analyses help to determine the elemental composition of metals, and using infrared absorption techniques, we can measure how much heat is transferred in the sample, which measures the trace levels of combustible gases within the material.

Manufacturing processes can sometimes cause inconsistencies or irregularities within metals, so it is important to carry out Chemical Analysis to find out if there are any combustible gases present, and if the levels of gases present are acceptable for quality control and production standards.

How we'll work with you

Carbon, Nitrogen and Sulphur Analysis is beneficial to many industries and applications, where achieving a precise elemental composition is crucial for enhancing performance and ensuring the longevity of products. Our team of technicians are on hand to support you with testing to the required standards or customer specifications. We can also combine chemical analysis and mechanical test methods to give you a complete understanding of your material’s properties.

Ensuring safety and quality with our analytical services

Measuring trace levels of combustible gases in metals in an important stage of any manufacturing process. Trace levels of Carbon, Nitrogen and Sulphur can have detrimental effects on the quality and properties of metals. High levels of these gases can impact the structural integrity of the metal and cause defects such as:

Porosity
Inclusions
Cracking

How can Carbon, Nitrogen and Sulphur Analysis help?

We help clients determine the elemental composition, properties and behaviour of various metals. Accurate analysis of these elements plays a vital role in quality control, environmental monitoring, research, and process optimization across diverse industries. We can detect trace levels of combustible gases using Chemical Analysis for:

Carbon and Sulphur

Nickel Alloys
Ferrous based alloys
Aluminium alloys

Nitrogen

High and low alloyed steels
Nickel and cobalt alloys
Plain carbon steels
