Large companies often have their own lab or hire one to:-check oil fuel quality, when you spend millions and it comes in tankers or barges things like the amount of moisture condensed into the oil count. Sulfur content is another factor that is easy to cut corners on but gets one into environmental troubles. -up through the 50's the heat value and ash content of power station coal counted for seeing if the coal quality met spec. -testing diesel engine lube oil for combustion products and water is a popular method of locating long term maintenance problems -drainage water for yards needs to be checked for runoff pollutants -materials like rubberized canvas, plastic upholstery and floor lino can also be checked for incoming quality. It's one thing to make a warranty claim and waste time retiling your kitchen floor, it's another when it’s the floors of a thousand subway cars that later have to be redone. Bill |
