Containers & Handling

  • Use clean, sealed glass containers with appropriate inert closures.
  • Minimize headspace to prevent evaporative loss of volatile components.
  • Use appropriate PPE and ventilation during sampling, as benzene is toxic.

Transport & Logistics

  • Label clearly as hazardous/flammable with Batch ID and Date.
  • Ship according to DOT regulations for volatile aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • Samples tracked via LIMS for complete historical data management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your benzene test methods accredited?
Yes, AGT Labs is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited by PJLA (Certificate #L25-276). Our scope explicitly covers volatile solvents and industrial aromatic hydrocarbons, including key methods like ASTM D849, ASTM D1209, ASTM D1353, and ASTM D5623.
Why is it important to test for sulfur in benzene?
Even trace amounts of sulfur compounds can severely poison the catalysts used in downstream chemical processes, such as the production of cyclohexane or cumene. We use ASTM D5623 (GC-PFPD) to accurately detect these sulfur compounds.
How do you measure the corrosiveness of benzene?
We utilize ASTM D849, specifically designed for Copper Strip Corrosion by Industrial Aromatic Hydrocarbons. This ensures the benzene will not degrade or damage transport pipelines and storage tanks.
How fast can I get my benzene analysis results?
Routine analysis via our Benzene Testing Services is typically completed quickly. We also offer expedited, rush testing services for urgent cargo transfers and real-time production needs.
