Standards-based methods

Testing to ISO, ASTM, EN, GSO and SASO methods.

Reports you can use

Certified reports with interpretation and next steps.

8 SPECIALIST CAPABILITIES

What the service can cover

Select the capabilities that match your Petroleum Testing requirement, operating context and agreed delivery stage.

01

Density Testing

Measure product density using the appropriate petroleum test method. Results support grade comparison and assessment against contractual or technical specifications.

02

Viscosity Testing

Determine viscosity under defined conditions appropriate to the petroleum product. Findings support quality checks and investigation of differences between supplied batches.

03

Flash-Point Testing

Arrange flash-point measurement using the method appropriate to the product. Reports document results against agreed specification limits.

04

Sulphur-Content Analysis

Measure sulphur within the required concentration range. Results support delivery assessment, supplier discussions and investigation of specification deviations.

05

Water & Sediment Testing

Assess water and sediment where relevant to the petroleum product. Findings support investigation of contamination, storage conditions and inconsistent product quality.

06

Acidity Testing

Determine acidity using an appropriate analytical method. Results support specification comparison and review of suspected changes during storage or handling.

07

Distillation-Characteristic Testing

Evaluate distillation characteristics where applicable to the product grade. Findings support comparison with technical requirements and investigation of inconsistent supplied material.

08

Storage Quality & Contamination Investigations

Compare selected properties across incoming, retained and stored samples. Reports identify measured changes and priorities for further supply or storage investigations.

HOW WE WORK

From test question to usable findings

A defined workflow keeps the work aligned with the approved scope and makes progress, decisions and handover easier to manage.

Scope your requirement
  1. 01

    Define the requirement

    Confirm the sample or product, applicable specification and decision the testing must support.

  2. 02

    Build the test programme

    Agree specimens, operating conditions, measurements, methods and acceptance criteria before work begins.

  3. 03

    Coordinate testing

    Manage the assignment with an appropriate specialist partner laboratory and keep the agreed scope visible.

  4. 04

    Report and decide

    Present measured results, observed changes, deviations, limitations and priorities for any further investigation.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Evidence designed for the next decision

Agreed test programme

Defined samples, methods, reporting expectations and assessment criteria before testing starts.

Coordinated specialist testing

Testing coordinated with partner laboratories selected for the required analytical methods.

Clear technical findings

Documented results, observations, deviations and limitations for the scope actually completed.

Practical next steps

Priorities for review, corrective action, further analysis or specialist investigation where needed.
