Coke is a critical carbon material used in metallurgical and industrial processes, particularly in steel production. Its performance depends on precise chemical and physical properties, making accurate characterization and grading essential to ensure suitability for end-use applications.
Using the correct coke grade is vital to maintain operational efficiency and avoid performance issues such as reduced furnace efficiency or increased wear on equipment. In global markets, producers and traders must also meet strict specifications and quality requirements to ensure compliance and protect commercial value.
We support coke producers, traders and end users with integrated testing, inspection and risk management solutions across the supply chain. Through our global network of laboratories and experts, we provide accurate analytical data and independent verification to ensure quality, consistency and compliance from production through delivery.
Our combined testing and inspection capabilities include:
- Moisture, proximate and ultimate analysis (including fixed carbon and ash)
- Mineral and trace element analysis (including phosphorus)
- CSR/CRI and Micum testing for strength and reactivity
- Particle size distribution and mean size analysis
- Sampling, sample preparation and pre-shipment inspection
- Loading, discharge supervision and quantity determination (including draft surveys)
- Cleanliness inspections, damage surveys and tally services
All services are conducted in accordance with internationally recognized standards, including ASTM, ISO, AS, GB and GOST.
