Frequently Asked Questions Category

Is XRF-analyse also possible on-site?

Yes, it is. We have mobile equipment, allowing 4 hours of non-stop cordless testing. If a 220 V power supply is available, there obviously is no time limit.

Which elements can be detected through XRF-analyse?

XRF analyse can be used to identify a wide range of alloy elements such as nickel, chrome, cobalt, coper, titanium and led. In addition, light elements such as magnesium, aluminium, silicon, phosphor and sulphur can also be identified.

Can I get a material certificate after an XRF analysis?

No, but we do provide a report consisting of all detected elements following each XRF-analyse.

Is XRF-analyse also suitable for tiny samples?

Yes, XRF analyse is also very accurate for analysing tiny samples and irregular surfaces such as chips, wires and welding joint, etc.

Is possible to identify heavy metals in rubber, plastic, wood or composite?

Yes, our XRF-analyse can identify heavy metals in in light matrices, such as rubber, plastic, wood or composite. It’s also suitable for screening consumer goods – such as toys and building materials – for chrome, led, cadmium and arsenic.

Does XRF-analyse involve the use of helium or a vacuum pomp?

No, even without helium or a vacuum pomp the measurements prove to be highly accurate.

Is it possible to detect an incorrectly used welding wire?

Yes, it is. XRF-analyse easily detects the composition of a welding seam and thus also that of the used wielding wire.
