XRF
analytical and positive material inspection (PMI) analyzers are vital
for quality control and assurance in the metal manufacturing and
fabrication industries. They are used for compositional analysis and
alloy grade identification, from critical components to raw materials to
welds.
Material
tracking and confirmation is critical to the production and maintenance
of petrochemical processing and power generation facilities. X-ray
diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers are used for
incoming material verification, safety assurance, PMI, and maintenance.
XRF
is a widely used, proven, and accepted method of chemistry analysis of
precious metal samples and karating of gold. XRF analysis provides a
cheaper, quicker and more accurate testing alternative to fire assay and
chemical tests, and is ideal for pawn shops, cash-for-gold, jewelry
manufacturing and more.
Scrap
refiners and recyclers need fast and accurate materials analysis and
identification. Our portable and automated XRF analyzers sort scrap
metal, plastics, and glass and offer precise, dependable compositional
measurements faster than ever before, even for aluminums and light
alloys.
Geochemical
exploration and mining require effective and accurate tools. Portable
XRF and XRD analyzers provide real time quantitative data for immediate,
on-location decision making. Reduce lab costs with on-site analysis.
Mobile,
Benchtop, and On-line XRF are used for rapid, immediate analysis of
sulfur, catfines, and wear metals in lubricating and fuel oils, as well
as mercury and arsenic contamination in tank sludge. ASTM D4294 and ASTM
D6481 compliant solutions.
When
conducting environmental and industrial risk assessments such as site
screening for heavy metal pollutants or monitoring contaminants in waste
streams, use portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction
(XRD) analyzers for on-site, immediate access to accurate and reliable
test results.
XRF
analyzers facilitate consumer products safety through rapid toxic
metals screening of toys, jewelry, clothing, consumer electronics and
other commodities to gauge compliance with HR4040, CPSIA, RoHS, WEEE,
and EN71-3 regulations. Immediate lead, cadmium, and halogen screening.
On
location elemental and mineralogical analysis for research requires
immediate results when time is of the essence & materials cannot be
transported, damaged, or altered. Portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and
X-ray Diffraction can be used to enhance research and discovery at every
level.
XRD
and XRF analysis can identify counterfeit drugs and hazardous
compounds, control product recipes, monitor metal content, and
facilitate on-site installation qualifications (IQ) and operational
qualifications (OQ), verifying the traceability of alloy process
components.
To
help ensure import and border security for government agencies XRF and
XRD analyzers can aid in a variety of uses - from WMD and
non-proliferation inspections to FDA and CPSIA regulations compliance.
