• Global Laboratory Techniques

Failure analysis provides determination of corrosion, dust, deposits, contaminants, particles, filter residues, polymers, coatings, materials, liquids, gases and many other materials. Intertek labs scientists provide clients with years of experience in the chemical and surface failure analysis of samples.

Intertek failure analysis labs provide elemental analysis of solid samples, impurities, and the identification of physical and chemical defects. The laboratories offer anaytical expertise to support research, forensic, troubleshooting, quality control and other requirements.

Chemical analysis contributes to failure-analysis investigations by characterising component materialsis made from specified materials. Compostional variation, impurities, contamination etc. may affect strength and physical property values of failed materials. Low amounts of impurities are capable of causing adverse changes in material properties. Intertek failure analysis expertise helps pinpoint problems and offer solutions.
