On-site analysis

Your material doesn't always need to come to us.

Some components are too large, too difficult to transport or already installed in a production facility. In other situations, material verification is needed during maintenance, a shutdown or a construction project.

Metal Spark brings the analysis to you.

Using mobile analytical equipment, we can perform suitable chemical analyses, PMI checks and hardness measurements directly at your premises. This allows you to investigate components where they are located and obtain information to support quality control, maintenance and material verification.

We serve customers throughout Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Northern France.

Why Metal Spark?

Technical knowledge. Practical solutions. Personal service.

  • Specialised expertise

    Our experience in metal analysis helps us understand the technical questions behind your request and select a suitable analytical approach.

  • Fast reporting

    We understand that waiting for an analytical result can delay production, maintenance or a quality decision. We therefore prioritise efficient handling and aim to report within 24 hours of sample receipt.

  • Accredited analysis

    Metal Spark is accredited by BELAC according to ISO/IEC 17025 for the activities specified in its accreditation scope.

  • Flexible sample handling

    Metal samples do not always come in standard laboratory dimensions. Our sample preparation capabilities and specialised measurement adapters allow us to work with many different shapes and sizes.

  • On-site capability

    When transporting a component is impractical, our mobile equipment allows suitable analyses to be performed at your location.

  • A personal approach
