Regulatory Compliance & High-Performance Fuel Characterization
AGT Labs provides professional Gasoline Testing to verify the combustion performance and environmental compliance of motor gasoline, racing fuels, and blendstocks. Our Houston facility performs ISO/IEC 17025 accredited testing for oxygenates and alcohols, sulfur compounds, detailed hydrocarbon analysis, gum content, copper strip corrosion and density.
Our analytical services support refineries, blenders, and fuel marketers with accredited technical data. Whether checking oxygenate levels at storage terminals or profiling alkylate and reformate blendstocks, we provide the results needed to flag fuel system deposits, corrosive sulfur and off-spec blending.
