The Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF)
analyzer combines purpose-built, proprietary electronics with an
ergonomic design and easy to use software, transforming XRF
analysis. It does this through reduced measurement times, increased
precision and lower detection limits than you could previously
achieve with portable x-ray fluorescence analyzers. From the integrated tilting color touch-screen display to the
customizable menus for ease of use, the lightweight Niton XL3t
provides you with heavyweight performance and a set of features
engineered to improve your productivity and profitability. In 2002, we pioneered the use of miniaturized x-ray tubes in a
handheld XRF analyzer, and have combined industry-leading expertise
with our extensive research & development resources to produce
the Niton XL3t. Equipped with a 50 kV x-ray tube, it offers you
several distinct advantages over our Niton XLt. Specifically, the
50 kV x-ray tube provides: *Approximately 2x the x-ray flux of a 40 kV x-ray tube
*Lower detection limits for higher-Z elements, including Ba in
soils & sediments, and Cd in plastics, *especially in the
presence of Sn and Sb-based fire retardant materials in plastics
*Shorter measurement times Positive Material Identification (PMI)
For petroleum and petrochemical facilities, the emphasis on safety
and accident prevention has never been greater - increased public
scrutiny, stepped-up industrial safety regulations, and more
stringent OSHA oversight and fines. This means that positive
material identification (PMI) in alloys used throughout the
physical plant is no longer a choice, but a necessity. Simply
relying on spot testing of parts and subassemblies is too risky and
totally unacceptable. Today's best practices include 100% material
testing of all critical materials. The PMI Tool You Deserve - Thermo Scientific Niton XRF Analyzers
Whether you're an inspector, manager, health and safety
professional, or serve another important role, you are on the front
lines of regulatory compliance. Using a Thermo Scientific Niton
x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer for your PMI testing needs can
help you: *Rapidly verify alloys in seconds
*Recover lost material traceability
*Isolate finished welds to validate filler material composition and
dilution rates
*Confirm the integrity of process piping, valves, and reaction
vessels
*With more than a decade of experience in positive material
identification instrumentation, also known as positive material
identification equipment, our XRF instruments offer fast, accurate
alloy identification and elemental analysis that ensures the
integrity of your systems across the process plant: *Rods and wire strands
*Finished welds and weld beads
*Bolts, rivets, and other fasteners
*Valves and flanges
*Complete reaction vessels
What's more, our total PMI testing solution not only provides fast,
simple reporting and certificate generation for tamperproof
results, but also includes industry-leading training and technology
with comprehensive, turnkey API RP-578 programs. Find It in the Library
With a unique library of 400+ alloy grades, our Niton XRF analyzers
provide alloy chemistry for up to 30 of the most common elements in
tens of thousands of alloy grades. Families of alloys that can be
accurately identified and analyzed include: *Stainless steels
*Cr-Mo steels including vanadium and tungsten stabilized versions
*Low alloy steel
*Tool steels
*Nickel, copper, titanium, and aluminum alloys
*Exotics, such as zirconium and tantalum alloys QA/QC in Metal Fabrication
Material verification for alloy quality assurance and alloy quality
control (alloy QA/QC) are critical to product safety. The potential
for material mix-ups and the need for traceability are a concern at
every step in the manufacturing process:
*Primary metal production
*Metal service center
*Component fabrication
*Final product assembly
Wrong or out-of-specification metal alloys can lead to premature
and potentially catastrophic part failures that can be expensive,
damaging to your reputation, and, sometimes, result in loss of
life. Alloy QA/QC with Thermo Scientific Niton XRF Analyzers
Unfortunately, relying on supplier documentation cannot give you
the peace of mind you deserve. The current emphasis on ISO
certifications and 100% quality testing, and an increased
regulatory environment demands finding and correcting a |
