FOR: PMI - QC/QA - FAC - Aerospace - Automotive

X-MET5000 and X-MET5100 energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers, with traceable Empirical Calibration assure unparalleled speed and measurement capability for real-time results that can be trusted.

Both instruments are highly productive mobile testing tools for Positive Material Identification (PMI) and material quality assurance testing.

The X-MET5100, with its powerful Light Element capability combined with the non-destructive nature of the XRF technique, is an invaluable tool for the aerospace industry where finished or sensitive samples need to be analyzed and Light Elements such as Mg, AI, Si & P need to be determined.

Challenging trace element analysis, such as FAC inspection in the nuclear power industry and the QC of micro-alloyed steels in automotive manufacture, can be performed in just one second!

6061 / 6063 ID in seconds!

Top of the range X-MET5100 combines Oxford Instruments' groundbreaking Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) with a powerful 45kV X-ray tube. This cutting edge technology delivers a five times faster measurement speed, much better detection limits and significant accuracy improvement over conventional systems.

Isn't it time you used X-MET to improve your productivity?

High speed PMI and Quality Control/Assurance with the X-MET5100:

• Reliable identification of a wide range of alloy grades
• Unparalleled speed: complete alloy analysis and grade ID in just one second
• Revolutionary Light Element analysis (Al, Mg, Si, P) without awkward vacuum pumps or helium bottles
• Invaluable tool for aluminium measurement and analysis of alloys which may contain large amounts of light elements (Al, Mg, Si, P).
• Identification of close grades such as 304/321 or Grade CPTi/Ti-7 in less than 5 second
• Traceable Empirical Calibration to certified reference material
• Withstands test piece surface temperatures up to 400ºC
• Totally non-destructive testing

Analyze large or small sample structures like bolts, thin tubes or honeycomb in seconds – just point and shoot!

• The X-MET series compensates for the shape of a sample
• Inspect pipes and welds for corrosion resistance conformity and
• pressure equipment for alloy composition
• Wires of less than 1mm diameter can be identified in seconds

Rugged and reliable tool for fast, reliable Grade ID

• Withstands all weather conditions and rough treatment
• IP54 (NEMA 3) approved. Superior dust and moisture protection
• High-strength environmentally sealed housing
• Long battery operating time, charge indicator on battery and user interface

Just point and shoot

• Analyze known and unknown samples
• Inspect pipes and welds for corrosion resistance conformity and pressure equipment for alloy composition
• Wires down to 1mm diameter can be identified in seconds
• The X-MET compensates for all sizes and forms of samples

Extensive and open grade library

The X-MET allows easy editing of the grade libraries, including the addition of new alloys and naming of alloys. The grade library contains:

• Nickel Alloys
• Stainless Steels
• Cobalt Alloys
• Low Alloy Steel
• Tool Steels
• Copper Alloys
• Titanium Alloys
• Zirconium Alloys
• Aluminium Alloys

The X-MET is capable of storing thousands of different grades and it is easy to add new elements or to create a custom library.

Three modes of operation

Choice of analysis modes

• Traceable Empirical Calibrations for optimized accuracy
• Additional custom calibrations can be created with optional PC software package
• Fundamental Parameter Calculations when standards are not available
• Universal calibration that can measure over 30 elements between Cl-U
• Pass / fail mode when only a small range of materials need to be identified
• User programmable pass /fail and alarm

Easy and reliable

• Short learning curve
• User interface in >10 languages
• Easy data storage and reporting
• PDA based technology for flexibility and simplicity
• CE, cCSAus certified

Proven design based on over 35 years experience in the field of portable hand-held XRF analyzers
