QUALITY The Mineração Curimbaba laboratories are equipped to perform testing in compliance with and exceeding the standard ISO 13503-2 guidelines Measurement of properties of proppants used in hydraulic fracturing . The modern laboratory instruments and equipment used to comply with this standard include analytical balances, microscopes, moisture analyses, sieve analysis, fully computerized X-ray uorescence (XRF), X-ray di raction (XRD) for quantitative mineralogical analysis, helium pycnometer, conductivity cells and permeability analysis, automatic crushing (compression) strength tests, sphericity, roundness, turbity and computer assisted design and monitoring. The resultant databases add value to research and development projects and contributes to continuous improvement of the product lines. Mineração Curimbaba develops a quality management system and is committed to constantly balancing the needs of shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers and society.
