DEF Testing Services for Diesel Engines
Extend SCR System Life. Maintain Peak Efficiency.
DEF Testing(Diesel Exhaust Fluid), also called AdBlue® testing, is a non-toxic, high-purity solution that reduces harmful gases being released into the atmosphere. DEF is designed to be used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems for diesel engines. When used in an SCR system, it can significantly reduce harmful oxides of nitrogen (NOx) released from diesel engine exhaust. SCR is one of the most efficient and cost-effective means of meeting serious emissions regulations. SCR uses DEF, which is now heavily adopted in commercial vehicle, and heavy machinery, where diesel emissions are significant.
At CME Labs, we specialize in Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Testing, providing accurate and reliable DEF analysis in full compliance with ISO 22241 standards. Our testing services help ensure your DEF fluid or AdBlue exhaust fluid meets purity, composition, and performance benchmarks critical for SCR system protection and efficiency.
Parameters for Diesel exhaust fluid testing
- Urea Content (%)
- Refractive Index
- Alkalinity as NH₃
- Biuret
- Aldehydes
- Insoluble Matter
- Phosphate Content
- Trace Elements: Aluminium (Al) Calcium (Ca) Chromium (Cr) Copper (Cu) Iron (Fe) Potassium (K) Magnesium (Mg) Sodium (Na) Nickel (Ni) Zinc (Zn
Why Diesel Exhaust Fluid- DEF Testing matters
Diesel exhaust fluid testing ensures that your DEF fluid maintains purity and effectiveness in reducing emissions. Contaminated or substandard AdBlue fluid can cause SCR system failure, engine inefficiency, and emissions non-compliance.
Ensure Compliance with ISO 22241 Standards
Verify that your DEF meets the global benchmark for purity, concentration, and performance.
Protect Your SCR System
Detect and avoid harmful contaminants like metals, phosphate, or excessive biuret levels.
Maintain Optimal Emissions Control
Ensure your vehicle stays within legal emission limits and runs efficiently and cleanly.
Maximize Fuel Efficiency High-quality
DEF supports better combustion, which can help improve fuel economy and overall engine performance.
What is DEF Testing?
DEF testing is the process of gathering and testing a fluid sample to analyze the purity, composition, and suitability for use in SCR systems.
Our DEF Analysis includes:
Urea Concentration – to verify the correct chemical strength for NOx reduction
Urea Concentration – to verify the correct chemical strength for NOx reduction - Contaminants – including metals, phosphate, biuret, and insoluble matter that may harm SCR systems
- Key Quality Parameters – such as refractive index, alkalinity (as NH₃), aldehydes, and trace elements
Key Benefits of DEF Testing
Improves Engine Efficiency
DEF enhances combustion, allowing diesel engines to run cleaner and more efficiently.
Reduces Harmful Emissions
DEF with the SCR system converts harmful NOx emissions into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.
Protects Engine and SCR Components
DEF prevents deposit buildup and corrosion within the SCR system, helping reduce wear, extend component life.
Prevent and Extends Equipment Life
Clean emissions systems and efficient engine performance lead to longer vehicle and equipment lifespans.
Supports Sustainability Goals
DEF supports regulatory compliance and contributes to a cleaner, greener future.
