LECO Analysis

Our LECO Analysis converts elements from your sample into their oxidized form by utilizing either the gas fusion method for hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen testing or the combustion method for carbon and sulfur analysis. This process determines the precise presence and concentration of these elements within your metallic samples with exceptional accuracy and low detection limits. Because of this precision, LECO analysis serves as an excellent process verification tool to help confirm that proper elemental levels are present in your materials after various manufacturing stages.

Our LECO Analysis services examine metallic samples at various manufacturing stages to verify elemental composition. We help manufacturers better understand the properties of their material by determining the concentration of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur within your metallic samples. This analysis is particularly valuable for detecting elemental inconsistencies that can cause extreme changes in material composition and properties, helping you maintain quality throughout your manufacturing process.

Element delivers both standard and custom LECO testing approaches to meet your specific needs. We utilize gas fusion methods for hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen detection, while employing combustion methods for carbon and sulfur analysis. Our testing follows popular ASTM and NADCAP specifications across our high-capacity laboratories. When your requirements fall outside typical industry standards, our Engaged Experts work directly with you to develop an individualized approach that achieves your specific goals.

Our LECO analysis equipment uses infrared absorption and thermal conductivity to measure combustion gases within your metallic samples with exceptional precision. This specialized technology allows us to detect carbon, sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen with extremely low detection limits. The accuracy of our equipment makes LECO analysis an ideal verification tool throughout your manufacturing process, helping you identify even minor elemental inconsistencies that could lead to significant changes in material properties.

We perform routine LECO analysis in our high-capacity chemical analysis laboratories across the US and Europe according to many popular ASTM and NADCAP specifications. If your requirements fall outside of typical industry standards, our experts can work with you to develop an individualized approach to achieve your end goals.
