Powerful  alloy verification  is within your reach with the new Thermo   Scientific  Niton XL5 Analyzer. This lightweight, ergonomically designed  handheld  X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer offers a new level of   speed, accuracy  and productivity to metal recyclers, fabricators and   PMI inspectors.

The  XL5 analyzer's compact design optimizes the  geometry between the x-ray  source, fluorescence detector and sample,  improving limits of detection  and shortening measurement times --  especially for light elements. The  XL5 analyzer not only measures  metals but also the elemental composition  of scale, sludge, oil,  powders and slurries.

 - Advanced Performance for Industrial Markets

Combined   with vivid navigation, micro and macro cameras, and the ability to   customize user profiles, the XL5 analyzer brings advanced analytical   performance to a range of industries:

 - Metal Fabricating

This   growth market relies on XRF for nondestructive elemental analysis to  ensure that no incorrect or out-of-specification metal alloys enter the   manufacturing process.

    Determine alloy composition and grade for a wide range of metal chemistries faster than ever before.
    Improve QA/QC and increase confidence in risk-management practices.

- Oil and Gas

The   structural integrity of pipelines and plant assets is a key safety   issue in this industry. Positive material identification (PMI) of piping   material is critical where flow accelerated corrosion, or sulfidic   corrosion, is a concern.

    Verify  the composition of piping, valves, and reaction vessels in seconds, with the lowest LODs available.
      Reach tight spots and corner welds  throughout the plant or along the   pipeline  for continuous inspection and reduced operator fatigue.


 - Scrap Metal Recycling

The   market for scrap metal is continually expanding as more recycled   materials are being used in fabrications processes. This increases the   risk for higher levels of tramp/trace elements in these materials, which   must be identified and measured to meet regulatory standards.

    Prevent alloy-mix ups or contaminated scrap from entering the supply stream.
      Increase coverage with identification of more than 30 elements, a   wider  alloy library, and an internal calibration standard to ensure   accuracy.

Precision. Tight Lines. Vivid Navigation.

A   miniaturized but powerful 5 watt x-ray tube, combined with compact   geometry, enables the fastest testing times and the lowest LODs   available. Intuitive, simplified software with customizable workflow   solutions creates a significantly improved user experience.   User-management software supports multiple operator profiles. Custom   profiles can be created for specific analysis or management   requirements.

A tilting, color touchscreen with swipe   functionality enables viewing from multiple angles. The Niton XL5   provides easy access to scanning (Analyze), reviewing data (Data) and   device settings (Settings), and results are presented concisely for   quicker and easier interpretation.
