Thermo Niton XLT 898: Portable Alloy Analyzer (X-Ray tube)
The XLT-898 analyzer offers the user the speed and efficiency of x-ray tube excitation.
It provides the fastest and most accurate elemental composition of major alloys and alloy grade identification ALLOY MODE, Two suites to choose from: Standard or Electronic.
Standard ”G suite” - 24 elements: Titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, selenium, zirconium, niobium (columbium), molybdenum, palladium, silver, tin, antimony, hafnium, tantalum, tungsten, rhenium, lead, bismuth and aluminium.
Or Alternate ”Electronic B suite” – 27 elements: Titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, selenium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, palladium, silver, cadmium, indium, tin, antimony, hafnium, tantalum, platinum, gold, lead, bismuth, mercury and aluminium.
This model is customized to provide metal analysis with alloy grade identification in various forms (powder, solids, rods, pipes, etc) and for various applications (scrap / recycling, incoming material QA, metal producers inspection, alloy sorting, aerospace, military, lead-free solder, PMI – Positive Materials Identification in a petrochemical plant or a shipyard, maintenance work, third- party testing services, etc), recovery from electronic scrap.
Applications for Niton XLT-898 alloy analyzer are endless.
Elements and sample types:
In situ testing with the XLT placed directly on an alloy sample, allows for a large number of data points to be collected in a short time. It is a fast and effective way of determining alloy types and grades on-site without the wait or cost associated with an outside laboratory. Spot screening for elemental identification is done immediately.
- Alloy grade identification Identifies alloy grades and provide chemistry composition in various metal samples: powder, solids, scrap, foil, rod, pipe.
- PMI Ideally suited to the testing of fillet welds and small components using an optional collimator. It can also accommodate the rigorous demands of in-service PMI testing of components in excess of 800 ºF (430 ºC) with specific handling procedures.
- Scrap metal recycling Provides quick information on alloy composition to quickly sort volumes of material and take advantage of sales opportunities. Niton is a member of both the ISRI (International Scrap Recycling Industries) and the BIR (Bureau of International Recycling).
- Quality Assurance / Quality Control QA/QC is essential in all manufacturing industries. Product components constructed using out-of-spec materials can have disastrous consequences.
Ex situ testing of properly prepared alloy or mining samples provides rapid laboratory STXgrade data quality without the wait or the costs associated with using an outside lab.
XLT-898 analyzers are supplied with an alloy standard and have optional wireless capability via Bluetooth for immediate transfer of the data to a PC or laptop.
Other optional tools include an alloy test stand and small XRF sample cups and sample zip bags to keep alloy samples and analyze them later.
Niton XLT-898 is widely used in manufacturing industries from small metal fabricators to pharmaceutical manufacturing, electric power industry, major aerospace manufacturers. Failure analysis, plant inspection, component validation, operational qualification, etc... are just some of the most common purposes of using a Niton alloy XRF.
