You wish to perform an analysis according to the ASTM E1479 standard
Need to validate the composition of your materials according to the ASTM E1479 standard?
Controlling elemental chemical composition is a cornerstone of industrial quality. The ASTM E1479 standard, which describes the standard practice for inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), demands absolute methodological rigor to guarantee reproducible results.
At the FILAB laboratory, we put our expertise in atomic emission spectrometry at your service to ensure the conformity of your raw materials and finished products to this international standard.
Understanding the requirements of the ASTM E1479 standard
This standard provides essential guidelines for the use of ICP-AES in the analysis of metals, alloys, and other materials. It outlines calibration procedures, spectral interference correction, and instrument performance verification, ensuring optimal accuracy for the detection of major, minor, and trace elements.

Our FAQ
To obtain a quote, you can contact our team via our contact form, by phone, or by email.
Simply tell us your requirements (type of material, desired analysis, applicable standards, urgency, quantity of samples, etc.). We will then send you a personalized technical and pricing proposal within 24-48 hours.
Turnaround times vary depending on the nature of the analysis and the complexity of the expert assessment project.
However, FILAB is committed to providing fast turnaround times tailored to your industrial constraints and urgent needs.
We apply this practice to a wide range of materials: steels, aluminum alloys, nickel bases, titanium alloys, as well as for environmental or process analysis solutions.
ICP-AES (or ICP-OES) is preferred for major and minor elements with excellent robustness, while ICP-MS is used for the detection of extremely low traces (ppb or ppt), according to the purity requirements of your specifications.
