SPECTROSCAN МАКС GVM


UNIVERSALITY. REALIBILITY. SAFETY.

The spectrometer operation is based on irradiation of the sample with primary X-rays generated by X-ray tube, registration of the secondary fluorescence from the sample elements preliminary diffracted on a crystal, and calculation of the elements concentration with the help of calibration equation, which is a relation between the element concentration and intensity of the registered secondary emission from the element. The spectrometer has high resolution of spectral lines and therefore provides accurate determination of elements in complicated multicomponent substances.

The spectrometric channel of spectrometer is evacuated but the samples are located outside the vacuum that allows analyzing substances in solid, powder or liquid state without previous sample preparation.

Operational control of the chemical composition of alloys - the quality assurance of products. Analysis of the chemical composition is usually carried out at a melting control and certification of finished products.

Companies, whose raw materials are alloys, require an input control of the chemical composition of the alloy. The same problem may arise among consumers of metal products at the stage of operation and maintenance.

X-ray fluorescence method can be used to determine a wide range of elements with content ranges from hundredths and thousandths of a percent up to 100%. The element content runs on the calibration curves calibrated on reference samples.

While the alloy analysis, samples must have a disk shape with a diameter of 16-20 mm or 26-40 mm in height and 15 mm. The Surface shall have the same roughness as the calibration sample, which was used for calibration of the spectrometer, but not less 64 microns.
