Introduction                        
Analytical Reference Materials International (ARMI) was founded in 1984 for the purpose of providing Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) to the Metals
Industry.   Since that time, ARMI has expanded its metals inventory to include CRMs for the following matrices:
     Carbon & Low Alloy Steels Titanium Alloys Nickel Alloys Stainless Steels Aluminum Alloys
     High Temperature Steels Tool Steels Copper Alloys Cobalt Alloys
ARMI's CRMs are produced from commercially available material analyzed by participating laboratories that are members of ARMI's Inter-Laboratory Analysis
Program (ILAP).  The ILAP Laboratories utilize ASTM Standards to produce the analytical and statistical data used by ARMI to calculate the certified values
and 95% confidence intervals of the CRMs .  The result is a true CRM of the highest quality yielding consistent, reproducible results and reliability for Industry.
Furthermore, ARMI's Certificates of Analysis contain all of the required and necessary informational disclosures and also evidence that the CRMs are traceable
to NIST.
ARMI is the world-wide distributor for Alcan Aluminum CRMs.  Please see our Aluminum producers catalog for additional information.
ARMI now offers Heavy Metals in Plastic RMs.  We have Br, Hg, Cr, Pb, and Cd in PE and PVC.  These RMs are available in sets only.
ARMI also carries Set-up Standards (SUSs) for Low Alloy, Cast Iron, and Aluminum.  In addition to its internally produced SUSs, ARMI also carries the
full line of Alcoa Aluminum SUSs and MBH's lines of SUSs.
ARMI has expanded its inventory to include Hydrocarbon CRMs for Industry.  The new CRMs are produced following ASTM Standards and like ARMI's metal
CRMs, they have full informational disclosures and are traceable to NIST.  The Hydrocarbon CRMs include standards for Sulfur in Oil and Coal.  The Oil CRMs
cover various Sulfur levels in:
     #2 Diesel Fuel CRMs & RMs Residual Fuel Oil White Mineral Oil Green & Calcined Petroleum Coke
Coal CRMs are available to cover a wide range of values for:
     Sulfur BTU Ash Chlorine
     Fixed Carbon Volatile Matter Mercury Gases
In addition to these cataloged CRMs, ARMI has access to additional standards from its affiliates and associates throughout the world.  We have an arrangement
with MBH Analytical Limited of England and TechLab of France to distribute their products in the United States.  Let ARMI's staff help fill your standards needs.
Thank you for considering ARMI's products and we look forward to supplying your Certified Reference Material needs.  If you have any questions, need technical
assistance, require additional information or need assistance in locating a special CRM, please contact us.  We will be happy to assist you in what ever way we can.
