Description

SciAps X-550 XRF Analyzer

The X Series is built on Google’s Android platform for real time data exporting. The user interface has the feel of a smartphone with results easily viewed on a vibrant display and reversible light/dark for all lighting conditions. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and USB mean that users can print and email from the X and connect to virtually any information management system for efficient test data and reporting.

SciAps X-550 XRF Analyzer

Now, an XRF specifically for NDT: the SciAps X-550 XRF analyzer. The X-550 sets a new performance standard for handheld XRF. It’s the lightest, fastest, most articulate x-ray gun ever made — 2.8 lbs. including battery — and delivers the small size, high speed and high precision of the SciAps X Series in a perfectly balanced device. The X-550 was especially designed for NDT, PMI users who must access hard-to-reach test locations and welds.
The SciAps X-550 features a powerful, miniaturized x-ray tube designed to excel at measuring low atomic number elements Si, P, S, Mg and Al. This tube combined with highly optimal internal geometry yields fast, precise results on previously challenging applications like measuring silicon for sulfidic corrosion, and low magnesium in aluminum alloys.

The X-550 analyzes common alloys in 1 second or less. For alloys requiring longer test times or two-beam analysis, pre-configured on-board apps assure quality testing by every operator. Tap the Residuals App, for example, and the analyzer uses pre-set testing times to measure low concentrations of Cr, Cu and Ni, then calculates the sum. Operators won’t be adjusting test times in the field, or generating insufficient data quality due to incorrect testing times. The patent-pending Aluminum App is optimized for both low atomic number elements and transition metals for ultra-fast, highly specific verification of the many similar aluminum grades. Grades 3003/3004/3005, Cast 356 and 357, and 2014/2024 are just a few examples that are easy for the X-550, but often confound other X-ray guns.
