X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis is a simple, highly sensitive method used to determine the chemical composition of a material. XRF is a popular analytical tool because of its non-destructive nature, testing materials with little or no preparation and being suitable for solid, liquid or powder samples.

X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis

The x-ray fluorescence sample uses a device to dilute it with x-ray waves. Based on the feedback from the atoms in the sample, the machine can calculate the material type. Since each element exhibits unique properties when irradiated, individual atoms can be detected, resulting in complete disintegration of the chemical composition. For coating thickness measurements with X-ray fluorescence, secondary equipment such as a diode is normally used to provide accuracy.

In addition to numerous industry standards, we are also experienced in testing unique customer requirements. Our relevant experts have the knowledge and expertise to ensure that your needs and goals are completed on time.

Portable XRF Analysis

Depending on the project requirements, it can be done at the test site and in the laboratory. When performed on-site, a handheld analyzer sends a beam to the material, which sends feedback to a portable machine that produces a reading of the types and quantities in a material.

Portable XRF can report on a wide variety of metals, including trace elements and major components. The results of this method are almost instantaneous, which is a very effective way to check structures or individual parts.

In-Laboratory XRF Analysis

X-Ray Fluorescence in the lab is performed by a more traditional, bench-top analyzer. With this method, samples must be of appropriate size to suit the equipment's size requirements. Instead of being tested outdoors, the material is loaded into a tube and irradiated.

Although this method takes longer than a field analysis, it can cover a wider range of elements and is usually more detailed. XRF in the laboratory is generally preferred when more accurate and comprehensive analysis of more than one element is required.
