This sector of RMRC is the main laboratory in which the chemical composition of materials and
metallic parts is determined. This task is performed by utilizing state-of-the-art OES devices,
skilled experts, a large archive of up to date standards, and RM samples. Moreover, OES laboratory
provides the most accurate and quality results by using other available methods such as wet chemical
analysis, XRF, EDS, etc. And participating in interlaboratory comparisons.
Available services in Optical Emission Spectroscopy Laboratory :
