Coolant (radiator additive) is added to the vehicle’s radiator to keep the engine’s temperature within the ideal range and minimize corrosion of metal parts. A low quality product causes hoses to dry up, as well as clogging, overheating and loss of engine power. IPT evaluates the quality of both concentrated Read more…
IPT has already developed over 130 types of Certified Reference Materials, including: Chemical compositions – steels, cast iron, pure metals, copper and iron alloys, refractory metals and ores Physical standards – viscosity, calorific value and specific mass, etc. Standards for the oil industry – flash point, fluidity point, clogging point, Read more…
IPT develops projects on demand for the validation of new methods and instruments for measuring chemical and physicochemical properties. These projects are carried out aiming, initially, to identify the most important evaluation parameters (precision, tendency, limits of quantification, etc.) A feasibility analysis is made of the experiment to validate a Read more…
Upon burning, many materials release toxic substances that may be harmful to the environment. To enable the identification of substances generated by combustion, the material is subjected to pyrolysis at a controlled temperature varying from 300 to 900ºC, and the resulting combustion products are separated by gas chromatography and identified Read more…
Solvents, dilutants and dispersants are chemical products that can dissolve other materials and which may consist of a single chemical substance or a mixture of several substances, normally volatile and flammable. Volatile substances are easily inhaled and may be introduced into the body through breathing through the mouth or nose, Read more…
Recent years have seen growing interest in Green Buildings, i.e., constructions whose conception focuses on the efficient and responsible use of natural resources, aiming to reduce socio-environmental impacts and ensure sustainable civil engineering. To be considered Green, a building must be made with products that carry the Green Seal, a Read more…
Chemical characterization is an important tool for determining the composition of a metal or metal alloy. Using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry for qualitative analysis, IPT identifies the chemical composition of ferrous alloys such as: carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, high-speed steel, cast iron, copper, zinc, aluminum, nickel and silver alloys, Read more…
