Introduction
This ebook helps shipbuilders and nautical engineering professionals to grasp the analytical tools, methodologies and supporting expertise they can employ in their laboratories to fully meet their analytical testing needs. The design, construction and maintenance of vessels involves a range of complex processes, including welding, painting, and material and chemical testing. These processes must meet strict quality, safety and environmental standards to ensure the durability, efficiency, and reliability of the vessels. All valuable considerations for an industry with an essential role to play in global trade, transportation, as well as national defense and security.
- Elemental Analysis for corrosion/wear testing (ICP-OES)
- Monitor VOC safety with online and offline platforms to protect human health and the environment (GC, GC/MS, HS-GC-FID)
- Full spectrum material characterization of functional coatings for durability, insulation and camouflage (UVS, DSC, EGA, TMA, TGA-IR-GC/MS)
- Test fuel and lubricant quality to ensure a malfunction-free drive system (GC, ICP-OES, LPC, FTIR)
- Capitalize on new energy sources including LNG, ammonia, hydrogen, fuel cells and solar (TGA-GC/MS, FTIR, DMA, ICP-MS)
