Quality
QMAG’s commitment to quality is evident throughout the various stages of production – from explorative magnesite drilling and analysis all the way through to final product testing. We use state-of-the-art testing equipment combined with internationally recognised standards (ISO, EN, ASTM) that are supplemented by internally developed test methods.
At our Kunwarara mine site, we test drilled core samples as well as in-process and final stockpile magnesite samples for particle size and chemical composition using fused glass bead X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis.
The laboratory at our Parkhurst processing plant contains equipment to ensure the highest quality materials are produced and supplied to our customers. We guarantee the chemical properties of our magnesia products using in-process and final product testing with fused glass bead XRF analysis. Our modern XRF analysers are independently calibrated using globally recognised certified reference materials. Furthermore, they are checked for accuracy and consistency daily. Other critical test methods we use include:
- specific surface area
- acid reactivity
- sieve and laser particle size analysis
- grain bulk density and periclase crystal size (DBM and EFM products).
In-process testing not only ensures that we meet production parameters and satisfy technical specifications, but also that we fulfill our customers’ expectations.
QMAG’s laboratories operate 365 days per year and currently analyse more than 18,000 samples per year. Our constant focus on quality control means we can provide our customers with premium quality, consistent products.
