Laboratory Services 

At LABS, we are committed in providing independent, accurate, timely and relevant analytical services to our clients.

​

Our laboratories are independently owned and operated by our employees. Our capabilities include ISO 8217 marine fuel specification and range from fuel oils to lubricants. 

 

Our accreditation includes ISO/IEC 17025. This accreditation demonstrates technical competence for a defined scope and the operations of a laboratory quality management system (refer to joint ISOILAC-IAF Communique dated April 2017)​

​

Through our 35+ years of experience in bunker fuels our team is proficient in not only administering analysis but also with the interpretation of the analytical data.  

ISO-8217 bunker fuel oil tests:

  •  Viscosity at 40°C and 50°C

  • Density at 15 °C 

  • Cetane index

  • Sulfur content

  • Flash Point Test

  • Hydrogen sulfide

  • Acid number

  • Total sediment by hot filtration

  • Micro Carbon residue

  • Metals, IP 501

  • Pour point

  • Appearance

  • Water by distillation

  • Ash

  • Lubricity

​

ISO and ASTM equivalent methods are available 

ISO 8217 testing are often paired with Bunker Quantity Survey (BQS), as this provides verification on the quality of bunker fuel being purchased.
