LECO analysis is a reliable method for determining the concentration of elements within a metallic sample, including Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and Sulfur. Our trusted experts help manufacturers better understand the properties of their material. 

Сòòò½APPal inconsistencies within metal processing can cause extreme changes in material composition and properties. Because of its accuracy and low detection limits, LECO analysis is often utilized as a process verification tool to help ensure that the proper level of these elements are present in metallic samples after various manufacturing stages.

How is LECO analysis performed? 

LECO analysis uses infrared absorption and thermal conductivity to measure combustion gases within a metallic sample. This process determines the presence and concentration of carbon, sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen or hydrogen. LECO analysis converts the elements from a sample into their oxidized form by utilizing either the gas fusion method (Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Oxygen) or the combustion method (Carbon and Sulfur).
