Positive Material Identification

ARL has 3 Positive material identification analysers capable of providing instant results for:

  • Rubber analysing
  • Mining rocks and soil
  • % or Volume of Lead contamination in the paint
  • Material identification for steel

“State of the Art” X mate 3000TX, 5000TX and the Delta  Dynamic XRF portable X-ray tube based metal alloy analysers (ever safe) are used to perform chemical analysis of ferrous / non ferrous material either in our laboratory or at client’s workshop or site. These units recognises the important role of the scrape industry in today world. High standards demanded by the end users mean that the quality and precision of metal sorting have to be second to none. ARL’s expertise and PMI units have the capability to determine the exact chemical composition of your material. We can even help you to determine the group of your material. It is also used to confirm that the correct welding metal has been used during production welding. The Delta Dynamic XRF has been loaded with the software which enables detection of lead in paint as well as being able to analyse non refined ore and rubber compounds.

Background

Lightweight, hand-held, XRF analysers are for fast and reliable elemental analysis, quality control and scrap sorting.

Advantages of these units are:
  • Bring the analyser to the test site
  • No limit on sample size
  • Point and shoot analysis
  • Intuitive user interface
  • Brief operator training

Quality Control and Positive Material Verification (PMI)

PMI Hand Held Units have been designed specifically for material verification functions where metals analysis is required.
  • Monitor assay to confirm goods meet specification
  • Inspect pipes, welds etc for corrosion resistance, and pressure equipment for alloy composition
  • Avoid material mix-ups
  • Wires of less than 1mm in diameter, or small objects of the same size, can be identified in seconds

Scrap Sorting and Metals Analysis

In metal recycling the quality and precision of metal sorting have to be second to none.
  • Be confident that the accurate analysis of Ni, Co, Cu, Mo, Sn, Ti will allow you to get maximum value for your scrap, even with the tight tolerances demanded by the industry
  • Avoid penalties by the accurate detection of tramp elements
  • Grade ID in 2 - 5 seconds
  • Full assay in 5 - 10 seconds
  • Withstands all weather conditions and rough treatment
  • Proven track record for reliability and endurance
  • Minimal service costs and down-time
  • 5 year X-ray tube warranty and 2 year instrument warranty
  • Fundamental Parameter (FP) and empirical calibrations
  • Identification Mode for quick sorting
