quality control and material verification(Positive Material Identification PMI)

The importance of quality control in everyaspect of our lives is paramount.

Oxford Instruments’ X-MET3000TX hasbeen designed specifically for materialverification functions where metals andplastics analysis is required.

With the introduction of the WEEE/RoHS/ELV and Packaging directives,this has become even more critical,especially to those companies that exportor sell goods within Europe.

Now the testing processes along the wholesupply chain have become a vital part ofproduction.

For example: the inspection of incominggoods, testing during production andmanufacturing of goods, not forgetting theroutine maintenance essential in any plant.

Accuracy – Fast,precise measurement• 304/321 separation in 5

seconds

• Sn or Sb analysis downto 0.1% in less than 10seconds

Versatility• Minimize labelling

• Incoming inspection ofpurchased materials

• Monitor assay toconfirm goods meetspecification

• Inspect pipes, welds etcfor corrosionresistance, andpressure equipmentfor alloy composition

• Avoid material mix-ups

• Wires of less than 1mmin diameter, or smallobjects of the samesize, can be identifiedin seconds

Accessories

• Holster

• Weld adapter

• Rod adapter for wiresand rods - can be usedwith wires of less than1mm in diameter

Easy Reporting – time-saving andtrouble-free• Recording of results

can be automated ifdesired

• Results can bedownloaded to a PCwirelessly, or via Bluetooth

• An unlimited numberof results can be storedfor future processing

• PC Report Generatorfor easy and versatileformatting of final QCreports

There is a growing focus throughout theworld on cleaning up the environment forhealth and safety reasons.

Legislation now imposes severe restrictionson land quality, especially where plots nearcities are converted into cultivated land.

Pollution problems, ignored for years, arenow coming to the surface, and in manycountries the importance of heavy elementanalysis of soil is increasing.

Oxford Instruments’ X-MET3000TXS is adedicated soil analyzer, designedspecifically for measuring heavy metals insoil – offering accurate and reliableidentification of pollutants and fastanalysis of their concentrations.

High Performance• All required heavy

elements in soil aredetectedsimultaneously – suchas Pb, As, Cr, Cu, Zn,Ni, Cd, Co, Se, Mo, Hg,Sb, Ag and Ba

• Typically, onemeasurement takes 15-120 seconds,depending on theelements of interestand accuracy required

• Low detection limits

• Results areimmediately available,ensuring valuable timeis spent on analysis,not waiting for results,and are easilytransferred to a PC

• Full compliance withUS EPA Method 6200

Save Time and Moneyby Screening on Site• Quickly identify

polluting elements anddefine the limits of“hotspots”

• No need to waste timewaiting for lab resultsto progress the analysiswork

• Focus further analysiswork only on thoseelements present inthe contaminated soil

Sample Measurementis Fast and Simple• Save time and money

on easy samplepreparation

• In the field, directsurface measurementcan be done withoutany preparation

• Place soil in a plasticbag or sample cup

• More accurate resultsare obtained if thesample is dried, sieved,ground or pressed


Parameter (FP)

- Universal calibration that can measure 25 elements between Ti-U, regardless of concentration

- Fast and easy to use in a wide range of soil types


• Empirical Calibrations- Measurement

of customized element concentration

- Site specific empirical calibration available to optimize accuracy

Accessories• Field carrying case

• Shoulder strap

• Sample bag holder

• Sample cup adapter

• Remote control cable

• Bench-top instrumentstand kit

• Holster
