Chemistry laboratory
Natanz Steel Company’s chemical laboratory consists of water, oil and chemical water laboratory, which, in addition to the analysis required by the complex, has the ability to perform analysis from other companies.
A – Water laboratory:
This laboratory performs chemical and microbial analysis of industrial water used in the 500 rolling line and steel factory. Also, the steel complex, having a sanitary sewage treatment plant, supplies the water needed for green spaces, so it is necessary to conduct chemical and microbial tests on it.
It is worth mentioning that this laboratory, having a spectrophotometer and performing various titrations, can perform all water-related tests on a daily and periodic basis.
– Tests according to the national standard of Iran ASTM:
- Measuring water hardness
- pH measurement
- Measurement of CON and TDS
- Alkalinity measurement
- Chloride measurement
- Measurement of iron, nitrate, phosphate, copper, etc.
- Identification of SRB ,TBC
- BOD , COD
- Identification of coliform
- Chlorine measurement
- B) Oil laboratory:
With its equipment, this laboratory can accurately measure the oil and grease purchased for the complex, as well as the effects of oil on the machines used. In fact, the main task of this department, in addition to confirming the purchased product, is to take care of the oil for proper performance and prevent damage.
In this laboratory, it is possible to prevent losses by daily analysis and determination of oil life.
– Tests according to the national standard of Iran ASTM:
- viscosity
- Determination of acid number
- Determination of alkalinity number
- Determine flash point
- Determining the particles in the oil (sedimentation through a microscope)
- Determination of refractive index
Other laboratories
In Natanz Steel Company, with the aim of meeting all the company’s laboratory needs, the following laboratories are established and equipped with the most modern equipment to complete the company’s control cycle.
- Calibration laboratory and instruments
- Metallographic laboratory
- Mechanical laboratory
- Quantum Laboratory
- Non-destructive laboratory
1- Calibration laboratory and precision instruments: temperature and pressure measuring equipment are calibrated in this laboratory.
2- Metallography laboratory: In this laboratory, in cases where there is a need to determine and check the structure and metallography of the manufactured product or parts of the production line, this is done by using modern equipment made by the OLYMPUS company in Japan.
3- Mechanical laboratory: This laboratory is equipped with three modern universal tensile, bending and pressure testing devices, a bending testing device and a pressure testing device, as well as a hardness tester, and while controlling the mechanical properties of the manufactured product, it also performs these tests on the parts of the production lines if needed. to give.
4- Quantum Laboratory: This laboratory is equipped with 2 quantometers manufactured by the German SPECTRO company for the analysis of steel in all simple carbon and alloy categories, and it fulfills the need of all factory units to determine the chemical analysis of raw materials, products and parts of the production line.
5– Non-destructive testing laboratory: In this laboratory, using PT and MT equipment, the healthiness of production line parts or parts entering the factory is performed by non-destructive methods of PT penetrant liquids and MT magnetic penetrant particles.
