X-MET8000 Optimum

Positive Material Inspection (PMI) programs allow plant operators and maintenance professionals to test critical process components before and after they are put in service to ensure assets’ integrity and prevent potentially catastrophic failures.
With handheld x-ray fluorescence (HHXRF), you can determine alloy grades and chemistry in seconds on-site. You no longer have to rely on suppliers’ certificates.

Why choose an X-MET8000 HHXRF analyzer for PMI inspection?
• Ultimate performance for fast and reliable metals analysis: ensure materials meet specification
• Extensive, customizable grade library for accurate alloy identification
• Ruggedness for the low cost of ownership
• Ease of use: minimal user training required
• Designed for the job: superb ergonomics for practical use, optimized design to test materials in hard-to-reach places (e.g., bends and corners)
• Versatile data management: store results on the analyzer, download customized reports to a USB flash drive, or use our app and cloud service to store and share your data.

All the great benefits of the Smart Plus…

Ultimate performance:
• Close-coupled geometry for superb light elements (Mg to Cl) and trace/tramp elements analysis.
• Combination of standardless (fundamental parameters) and empirical calibrations for superior precision, accuracy, and full traceability.

Optional window-shield: 
• Full protection against sharp objects and uneven shapes.
• Prevents potentially expensive repairs.
• Minimises downtime.

Optional camera and small-spot analysis:
• Isolate specific features (down to 3 mm-diameter sizes) from surrounding materials to get accurate results (e.g., welds).

Unique solution for hot samples analysis:
• Accurately test alloys up to 400°C/752°F with the optional HERO™ (heat resistant) window, including elements Mg to S. No tilting, spacer, or unique calibrations are needed.

Superb versatility:
• Wide range of applications: alloys, wood, plastics, regulatory compliance screening, minerals, ores, and more.
