Precise analysis of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Natural Gas for quality, composition, and compliance.
METS Lab offers comprehensive LPG and Natural Gas Testing Services to ensure the safety, purity, and regulatory compliance of gaseous fuels used in industrial, residential, automotive, and commercial sectors. With state-of-the-art instrumentation and deep domain expertise, we support gas suppliers, utility providers, and industrial clients in verifying fuel specifications and monitoring gas quality throughout the supply chain.
Our accredited laboratory provides testing as per international standards such as ASTM, ISO, EN, GPA, and BS, along with regional regulatory compliance for ADNOC, ESMA, and UAE civil defense requirements.
Why Gas Testing is Important?
LPG and Natural Gas are essential energy sources used for heating, power generation, and combustion. Any deviation in their quality or composition can result in:
- Incomplete combustion or safety hazards
- Corrosion or damage to pipelines and appliances
- Failure to meet regulatory standards
- Equipment inefficiency or downtime
- Environmental violations due to high sulfur or hydrocarbon emissions
Routine analysis ensures safe usage, maximum efficiency, and compliance with local and international standards.
Gases We Analyze:
- LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) – Propane, Butane, or blends
- Natural Gas (NG) – Methane-dominant gas from pipelines or fields
- CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) – For vehicle and industrial use
- Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG)
- Associated Petroleum Gas (APG) and refinery gases
