Our measurement suite

Currently, our suite of measurements includes the following physical properties:

Density
Porosity
Magnetic susceptibility
Galvanic resistivity
Chargeability
Time-domain IP-effect
Inductive conductivity
Relative dielectric permittivity
Thermal conductivity
Thermal effusivity
P- and S-wave velocities
Leeb-hardness

Further services

From the measured properties, we can calculate the following:

All dynamic elastic properties
Thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity
Other standard hardness scale values
Non-destructive UCS estimate

Additionally, we can provide the following measurement through our trusted partners:

Remanent magnetisation
Frequency-domain IP-effect
Traditional mechanical testing (point-load, UCS, Brazilian etc.)
Quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis
SEM automated mineralogy

Training

We provide in-person and remote trainings customised to your needs. You can select and combine 45-minute modules from a comprehensive list of topics, and define the level and language (Finnish/English) of instruction. We tailor for both small and large groups. Some of the topics include:
