Research composition of rocks<\/h2><\/header>[vc_column_text css=””]When renovating old buildings or monuments, it is crucial to know what materials they are made of. This helps in choosing the right repair methods and materials. Incorrect choices can lead to damage or even collapse. Material testing can also help ensure quality in new structures.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584821670{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”7940″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1734102684501{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1513720913586{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-right: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;padding-left: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584821670{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”7940″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1734102684501{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584818078{padding-right: 20px !important;}”]

1. Examination through X-rays<\/h2><\/header>[vc_column_text css=””]INSPECT can determine both elemental or mineralogical composition of rocks or salts. Using X-ray methods such as XRD (X-ray diffraction) or XRF (X-ray fluorescence), minerals on the one hand and the occurrence of elements on the other can be determined. <\/p>\n

If necessary, micro-XRF or electron microscopy combined with EDS can be used to obtain a spatial distribution of constituents.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1513720913586{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-right: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;padding-left: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584818078{padding-right: 20px !important;}”]

2. Salt analyses<\/h2><\/header>[vc_column_text css=””]If salts are present in a rock, they can be sampled and then analyzed for their composition using, for example, ion chromatography. Whatever the mineralogical or chemical problem, INSPECT devises an appropriate analysis path in consultation with the client in order to achieve a correct result as quickly and efficiently as possible.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584821670{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”7940″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1734102684501{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1669214936865{background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1542887413498{padding-top: 150px !important;padding-bottom: 150px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_custom_heading text=”Do you wish to call on us?
