Thanks to its wide range of analytical instruments, Stazione Sperimentale del Vetro is capable of determining with precision and reliability both the concentrations of the main components present in refractory materials (e.g. Si, Al, C, Mg, Zr, Cr, etc), and their possible content of trace contaminants.

Specially developed instrumental calibrations and sample preparation techniques allow the accurate analysis of acid, neutral and basic refractory matrices, including carbides, nitrides and refractories with a high Mg, Cr or Zr content.
