Explore application ↗Application 1
Soil carbonate, pH and conductivity
Specify whether your measurements will be made in the field or laboratory. Carbonate measurement, moisture correction and pH/EC characterisation are distinct tasks that may need different instruments.
Application 2
Cement CO₂ and mineral carbonate analysis
Match the instrument to the material and reporting requirements. Cement carbonate-derived CO₂ analysis and geological calcite–dolomite assessment call for different workflows.
Application 3
Thermal conductivity of solids and fluids
Choose a steady-state guarded heat flow meter for solid specimens or a transient hot-wire platform for compatible fluids. Temperature, pressure and specimen geometry should be specified.
Application 4
Mud logging and drilling-fluid ageing
Discuss geological specimen analysis with the MAL-22 and drilling-fluid ageing tests with Roller Oven 155. Required sample cells and accessories should be included in the enquiry.

Why measure carbonate content?
Understand what a carbonate result can tell you in your industry—and which other measurements complete the picture.
Farming & soils
Interpret nutrient availability
Carbonate percentage helps explain why a soil can have adequate nutrients on paper yet limited nutrient availability to crops.
Why carbonate percentage matters ↗Oil drilling
Characterise drill cuttings and cores
Carbonate measurements add compositional evidence to geological interpretation and help frame acid–rock compatibility studies.
Why carbonate percentage matters ↗Enhanced weathering
Establish a carbonate baseline
Measure background carbonates and changes in soil inorganic carbon to make weathering results easier to interpret.
Why carbonate percentage matters ↗Cement & minerals
Compare carbonate composition
Carbonate composition helps laboratories interpret mineral feedstocks, limestone additions and carbonate-derived CO₂.
Why carbonate percentage matters ↗Materials & fillers
Check formulation consistency
Knowing the carbonate fraction helps materials teams relate filler loading to formulation consistency and measured performance.
Why carbonate percentage matters ↗Mining & environment
Characterise potential buffering
Carbonate measurements help investigate how geological materials may buffer acidity generated by sulphide oxidation.
