High-performance mobile metal analyser

Leading mobile OES spectrometer company, SPECTRO Analytical Instruments has introduced a new high-performance mobile metal analyser that is capable of rapidly determining the nitrogen content in duplex steels with spark excitation and quickly identifying low alloy steels using carbon in arc excitation.

The SPECTROTEST TXC25’s compact, thin sample probe enables hard-to-reach sample areas such as bundled rods and bars to be easily analysed. The lightweight, easy to handle device is ideal for steel stockists, importers, metal recyclers and quality control in metal producing and metal processing companies. The mobile metal analyser’s flexibility also makes it a handy instrument for testing finished products in industry. The instrument can be used cordlessly with a rechargeable battery pack.

Capable of high sample throughputs, the SPECTROTEST TXC25 is able to quickly identify austenitic and so-called duplex alloys where nitrogen is the only differentiation compared to other stainless or high alloyed steels. By exchanging the standard sample probe with an optional special sample probe with integrated UV optic, the analyser is able to measure elements like nitrogen, boron, carbon, phosphorous and sulphur. A minimum difference in the nitrogen content of 500 ppm is necessary. Exchanging the sample probes is quick and easy.
