Innovate T5 OES for a certification laboratory in Indonesia
An Indonesian certification and testing services provider installed an Innovate T5 OES for stainless steel analysis, cutting testing time by over 60% against its previous method.
- Market
- Indonesia · certification and materials testing services
- Commissioned
- October 2025
- Product
- Innovate T5 Optical Emission Spectrometer
- Application
- Stainless steel elemental analysis for incoming material inspection and finished product verification on behalf of client companies.
Challenge
- As a testing provider, turnaround time is the product — clients wait on the report before releasing material.
- Stainless grades required accurate chromium, nickel and molybdenum values, not indicative readings.
- Results had to meet international industry benchmarks to be usable in client certification.
What was installed
- Innovate T5 full-spectrum OES configured for stainless steel work, covering Cr, Ni and Mo along with the rest of the grade specification.
- Vacuum optical chamber and all-digital excitation source for stable results across a testing workload.
- Commissioning included calibration against certified reference materials for the grades the lab reports on.
Outcome
- Testing time fell by more than 60% compared with the laboratory's previous method.
- The lab reports both incoming material inspection and finished product verification from one instrument.
- Results meet the international benchmarks the lab's clients require for their own certification.

Buyer questions
Is an OES suitable for a third-party testing laboratory?
Yes — it is the standard method for solid metal composition. Labs choose the model by the range of matrices they accept: the Innovate T5 covers 10 base matrices, while the Noble T7 suits labs needing sub-10 ppm accuracy.
What limits stainless steel accuracy on an OES?
Sample preparation and calibration, more than the instrument. Grinding must be consistent and the working curve has to be built on certified reference materials that bracket the grades being reported.
