Frequently Asked Questions

Which toluene tests are accredited at AGT Labs?
Our PJLA ISO/IEC 17025 scope covers copper strip corrosion by industrial aromatic hydrocarbons (ASTM D849), color on the Pt-Co scale (ASTM D1209), acidity (ASTM D1613), nonvolatile matter (ASTM D1353), sulfur compounds by GC-PFPD (ASTM D5623), refractive index (ASTM D1218) and odor (ASTM D1296).
Why test copper corrosion in toluene?
ASTM D849 is designed for industrial aromatic hydrocarbons and shows whether toluene contains corrosive sulfur that could attack copper and copper alloys in equipment.
How fast can I get toluene results?
Routine analysis via our Toluene Testing Services is typically available within 24 hours. We offer expedited rush services for urgent cargo transfers and production needs.
