X-Ray Fluorescence Analyser - Niton XLt 898 X-Ray Tube Alloy Analyser

This is an ergonomically designed handheld battery operated XRF Alloy Analyser.

Elements on this programme: Mn. Cr. Mo. Ni. Ti. Nb. Cu. W. Co. V. Zn. Fe.

Widely regarded as the best mobile analyser available.

5-30 seconds test time per item.

Specification grade library and intelligent display allowing faster interpretation of results and increased efficiency when testing large quantities.

Extremely mobile and robust nature, secure holster to allow 3 points of contact when using ladders.

Includes the option of printing results direct from the analyser, if connected to a PC.

Calibration - After powering up the Niton equipment it takes approximately 10 minutes for the electronics to carry out start up checks and then reach the correct operating temperature. It then takes 2 minutes or less to calibrate the detector which is an automatic process. After calibration the instrument will display the calibration results, assuming they are within the manufacturers accepted tolerance routine analysis can begin.

Calibration checks using standards of known % analysis and specification grade can be tested as a routine check on the instrument performance.

Sample Preparation - On most occasions especially with new materials no surface preparation should be necessary, but where required a small battery powered grinder/polisher, file wire brush or emery paper should be used to clean a test area.

When Positive Material Identification is required on a live plant the test surfaces can be extremely scaled, it is essential to clean the test position with equipment acceptable within that area or erroneous analytical results may occur.
