Tracerco High Temperature Tracer Thermal Stability Testing - Report
This report presents thermal stability testing of fifteen Tracerco water tracers exposed to 250C for 48 hours. Tracer concentrations were compared using HPLC, with samples grouped based on retention time. Three tracers, HTP-001, HTP-002, and HTP-005, retained over 90% of their original concentration and passed the test. All other tracers showed significant degradation.
