Benefits of XRF in Alloy Analysis / Metal Identification
A primary use of the X-Met8000 handheld XRF analyzer from Hitachi High-Tech (formerly Oxford Instruments) is for accurate, and immediate, metal identification. The X-Met series software features both fundamental parameters and empirical calibration capabilities, so material identification can be optimized for simply sorting metals or for high accuracy when quantification of the elemental breakdown of an alloy is critical.
Standard features of the Hitachi XMet8000 for metal identification include:
Largest Interface
Industry Leading Data Mgt and Reports Largest Alloy Grade Library Longest Battery Life (8-12 hours) |
Touchscreen, with gloves on
Rugged, IP54 Rating Intuitive Software Competitive Pricing |
There are two main uses within the primary application of metal testing and the concept of 'sorting' versus 'quantifying' is the difference between the two.
SCRAP METAL RECYCLING
Choose the Hitachi X-Met8000 because it is simple to operate, durable, and provides a clear identification of the alloy grade - plus it includes the largest alloy grade database automatically. The benefits of XRF in scrap recycling can be seen in a monetary return on investment, detailed here "ROI of XRF for Scrap Metal Recycling".
