Correct sampling is the most important element of the testing process, which often determines the result of subsequent tests. The selection of an appropriate sampling method depends on many factors, including the type of material tested, amount of material or sampling location.


FERROCARBO Sp. z o. o. carries out sampling in order to:

  • assess the quality of  raw materials and products (taking from heaps, cars, wagons and ships)
  • deposit documentation of natural and waste materials (boreholes and geological documentation of the deposit)
  • supervise the quality of produced and/or used solid fuels, solid biofuels and solid recovered fuels.
