What equipment is needed to set up a new laboratory for the physical and chemical properties of metal materials?
Thread Content
Help: Our factory needs to establish a new physical and chemical laboratory. Its main tasks will be to test the metal materials used in the factory’s class 1 and class 2 pressure vessels – with domestic materials being the primary ones, though many ASME-standard materials will also need to be tested. Tests such as tensile testing, bending testing, and 0° impact testing (excluding low-temperature impact testing) will be carried out, as well as analysis of chemical composition. The budget is no more than 500,000; the space is about 4 meters wide and 10 meters long, on the first floor. What equipment is needed? It would be best to provide the specific model. It would be even better if anyone has a floor plan of the site. Thank you very much from me here. Also, I heard that the physics and chemistry laboratory is going to undergo an audit by CNAS (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment)? Our factory’s laboratory is for internal use only and does not undertake external processing; is it still necessary to obtain accreditation in order to issue reports? I hope those who are aware can help answer this. Thank you! ! ! This post was last edited by apache9900 on 2008-1-9 11:24]
It’s best to specify what needs to be analyzed, so that we know what equipment is required
What are you planning to do, which projects need to be analyzed, what is the size of the laboratory, and how many staff members are there? Please provide these details first
Tensile testing machine, press, impact testing apparatus
Instruments for analyzing the chemical composition of materials: Fourier-transform infrared spectrometers, inductively coupled plasma spectrometers, optical emission spectrometers. Instruments for microscopic analysis of materials: metallographic microscopes, scanning electron microscopes. Equipment and instruments for testing the mechanical properties of materials: electronic universal testing machines, microhardness testers, impact testing machines, tensile testing machines, presses.

Only domestic products can be purchased, and open bidding is required
The physical and chemical laboratory for metal materials first includes equipment and tools related to sampling and sample preparation. Such as: bench drill, oven, box furnace, photoelectric balance, tray balance, distilled water preparation equipment (although bottled water can be used as well, it’s more convenient to have it on hand), hand drill, hammer, and so on ； Next is elemental analysis; for steel materials, sulfur, phosphorus, silicon, manganese, and carbon are the elements that must be tested. Equipment required: tubular electric furnace, carbon analyzer, sulfur analyzer (or combined sulfur-phosphorus analyzer), spectrometer for measuring alloy elements, as well as glassware, etc ； Materials microanalysis instruments: Metallographic microscope, ； Equipment and instruments for testing the mechanical properties of materials: universal material testing machines, impact testing machines, hardness testers, and so on ；
There are also heat treatment furnaces needed to carry out simulated heat treatment on test plates and similar items
