The inherent qualities of Carbon and Graphite make them an excellent choice for a variety of Laboratory uses. In addition to the standard range of refractory graphites we offer materials of high purity for analytical purposes and Vitreous Carbon for use where resistance to aggressive solutions is required. Only a flavour of our expertise is shown below, please contact us to discuss your application further.

Vitreous Carbon

  Vitreous Carbon shares similar properties to glass, fragility, closed microporosity and impervious to gases. These features combine to offer exceptional resistance to general chemical agents. Only Oxygen above 600C and oxidants may attack Vitreous Carbon.

* If specifying a special order item customers should be aware manufactured shapes are limited to 3mm thickness and close tolerancing is not possible due to the nature of the material and the manufacturing process

Graphite for emission spectrographic analysis

  Applying stringent control over raw material selection and manufacture we offer the analyst a range of materials of exceptional high purity and consistancy, ideal for the field of Emission Spectrography.

The following paramaters receive particular attention

 
Raw Materials Finished Products
Qualitative Analysis Apparent and absolute density
Crystallography Porosity
Grain Size Resistivity
Volatiles and ash content Flexural Strength
Melting/softening point (binders) Micrography
Viscosity Ash content
  Purity
 

In addition to the materials available we also offer to machined electrodes to ASTM specifications, in all our grades. The list includes Simple , Counter , Cupped, Harvey, Scribner and Fassel electrodes. This is by no means exhaustive, please contact us with your requirements


Atomic Absorbtion Spectroscopy - Furnace Tubes

  This product is one of the key replaceable components at the heart of all Spectroscopy analysis equipment. To support the diverse fields of analysis this equipment covers, we produce a range of tubes to suit the majority of currently available machines in two material options.

1. Ultra pure, high-density graphite.
2. Ultra pure, high-density graphite + pyrocarbon coating.

With the pyrocarbon layer applied to the internal and external faces both surfaces become impervious to liquids and vapours. In addition the chemical inertia of pyrocarbon limits the formation of stable carbides and increases life.

As a consumable item our product offers a cost effective alternative to the OEM. The list of machines covered by our standard parts is large and continues to grow so please contact us with your requirements.

Graphite Crucibles - for gas content in metals
  Gas dosing crucibles another regularly used consumable in analysis equipment is another area of specialisation for the Carbone Lorraine Groupe. The grade of graphite employed for this product has been developed particularly for this application to provide consistant results.

Again we manufacture a long list of crucible types covering the majority of analysis equipment available and continue to add more. Please contact us with your requirements
