Powerful
alloy verification is within your reach with the new Thermo
Scientific Niton XL5 Analyzer. This lightweight, ergonomically designed
handheld X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer offers a new level of
speed, accuracy and productivity to metal recyclers, fabricators and
PMI inspectors.
The
XL5 analyzer's compact design optimizes the geometry between the
x-ray source, fluorescence detector and sample, improving limits of
detection and shortening measurement times -- especially for light
elements. The XL5 analyzer not only measures metals but also the
elemental composition of scale, sludge, oil, powders and slurries.
- Advanced Performance for Industrial Markets
Combined
with vivid navigation, micro and macro cameras, and the ability to
customize user profiles, the XL5 analyzer brings advanced analytical
performance to a range of industries:
- Metal Fabricating
This
growth market relies on XRF for nondestructive elemental analysis to
ensure that no incorrect or out-of-specification metal alloys enter
the manufacturing process.
Determine alloy composition and grade for a wide range of metal chemistries faster than ever before.
Improve QA/QC and increase confidence in risk-management practices.
- Oil and Gas
The
structural integrity of pipelines and plant assets is a key safety
issue in this industry. Positive material identification (PMI) of piping
material is critical where flow accelerated corrosion, or sulfidic
corrosion, is a concern.
Verify the composition of piping, valves, and reaction vessels in seconds, with the lowest LODs available.
Reach tight spots and corner welds throughout the plant or along the
pipeline for continuous inspection and reduced operator fatigue.
- Scrap Metal Recycling
The
market for scrap metal is continually expanding as more recycled
materials are being used in fabrications processes. This increases the
risk for higher levels of tramp/trace elements in these materials,
which must be identified and measured to meet regulatory standards.
Prevent alloy-mix ups or contaminated scrap from entering the supply stream.
Increase coverage with identification of more than 30 elements, a
wider alloy library, and an internal calibration standard to ensure
accuracy.
Precision. Tight Lines. Vivid Navigation.
A
miniaturized but powerful 5 watt x-ray tube, combined with compact
geometry, enables the fastest testing times and the lowest LODs
available. Intuitive, simplified software with customizable workflow
solutions creates a significantly improved user experience.
User-management software supports multiple operator profiles. Custom
profiles can be created for specific analysis or management
requirements.
A
tilting, color touchscreen with swipe functionality enables viewing
from multiple angles. The Niton XL5 provides easy access to scanning
(Analyze), reviewing data (Data) and device settings (Settings), and
results are presented concisely for quicker and easier interpretation.
