REFRACTORY TESTING SERVICES FOR LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY
REBL’s refractory test services provide clients with third-party independent test results. All of REBL’s refractory testing services are conducted on equipment calibrated to ASTM and API standards.
Refractory Testing Services
With each refractories testing service, REBL provides a test report, complete with project specifications customized to meet client or project requirements. The test reports provide indications of installation quality and help assess a refractory material’s suitability and future selection. REBL also provides additional information to augment the manufacturer-supplied data and help the end-user interpret the results. Our staff engineers can provide additional feedback to the client on issues seen in the refractory test results.
With a laboratory located in Surrey, British Columbia (30 minutes from the US border), a laboratory located in Leduc, Alberta (near the Edmonton International Airport) and mobile laboratories located in Alberta and Southern Ontario (in close proximity to Hwy. 401 interchanges), REBL has convenient access to testing samples across Canada and the US.
REBL’s Mobile Testing Laboratories offer clients the option of on-site testing during turnarounds, providing convenience, fast results, and decreased logistics and shipping requirements.
