SCIAPS

For those who don’t need to measure Mg, Al, Si, S, or P, SciAps X-5 is the perfect choice. SciAps has re-engineered this classic detector technology and equipped it with more features: a built-in, high-resolution camera for sample viewing, such as welds; a macro-camera for photo-documentation or 2D/3D bar code reading and storage; and global connectivity to share results instantly using Bluetooth/ Wi-Fi on a familiar Android platform.

The X-5 includes the same advanced X-ray tube technology as other SciAps X Series models (operating at 40 kV max) for testing, that includes Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, W, Ta, Hf, Re, Se, Au, Pb, Bi, Zr, Mo, Pd, Ag, Cd, Sn, and Sb. More elements can be added upon request.

SciAps X Series is the world’s lightest, smallest, fastest, high-precision family of XRF analyzers, under 3 lbs. with improved heat dissipation and new user interface. Built on Android OS with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and USB, you can manage your data and fleet anywhere, print or email results, and connect to virtually any information management system for seamless test data and reports. And visibility? An integrated camera with video for sample viewing is included with all models, and the latest smartphone display provides easy viewing in all lighting conditions.

• All internal electronics now use less power and operate at higher temperatures—no drift or shutdown.
• Redesigned heat sinking—can now operate continuously up to 110F (43C) ambient temperatures
• New internal circuit boards
• New housing and metal components
• Up-to-date software, user interface, and full recalibration
• Same advanced X-ray tube as other X models
• May be factory calibrated with fundamental parameters, Compton Normalization (EPA Method 6200), or user-defined empirical calibrations.

The x-50 is the “old school” PiN diode technology for basic analysis of transition and heavy metals. A great value for analyzing basic alloys including stainless, high temps, copper alloys.

The X-50 features PiN diode technology, which is the previous generation detector prior to the advent of silicon drift detectors. The PiN technology processes a factor of 10x – 20x lower X-ray rates than the silicon drift detectors, and has resolution that is about 70 eV less (greater width). However, for many applications, such as basic sorting of stainless, high temp, and copper alloys, or to analyze base or heavy metals in soils, ores, powders, etc., the PiN technology is satisfactory. The X-50 will NOT measure Mg, Al or Si in alloys. For some materials, X-50 can measure P and S at the 1% level. Limits of detection will be 3x higher (elevated) compared to SDD versions of the X. 

However, the X-50 features an attractive price point for the applications that work well. The X-50 includes the same advanced X-ray tube as other X models (operating at 40 kV max.), integrated camera, macro-camera, video, and the Android OS platform. The X-50 is available for alloy, environmental, mining/exploration, precious metals, car catalysts, coatings and an empirical app for industrial and user-customizable applications. Analyzers may be factory calibrated with fundamental parameters, Compton Normalization (EPA Method 6200), or user-defined empirical calibrations.

Applications:

The SciAps X-505 sets a new performance standard for handheld XRF. Weighing 2.98 lbs. (1.3 kg) with the battery, it’s the lightest, fastest, most articulate X-ray gun ever made. It delivers the small size, blazing speed and high precision of the SciAps X Series in a perfectly balanced device. It’s fast on all alloys, including aluminums.
The X-550 uses the industry’s most powerful X-ray tube, operating up to 3x the power in the Beam 2 setting compared to the SciAps X-505 and other handheld XRF analyzers. The unique geometry and tube power optimize performance for low atomic number measurement applications including sulfidic corrosion (low Si), phosphorus and sulfur, and aluminum alloys, as well as for residuals analysis per API 751 and 5L specifications.

The totally re-engineered X-200 and X-50 are the lowest priced XRF guns on the market, yet still offer best-in-class analytical and speed performance, with all all the accuracy and throughput of the X-5 Series. Now with improved heat dissipation, reduced weight, and new user-interface.

The SciAps X-200 portable XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analyzer offers comparable or superior speed and performance to the top end analyzers from other brands. It uses a top performing SDD like the X-300 and a more standard version of pulse processing electronics. The X-200 has the same highly optimized X-ray tube and detector geometry as the X-300. The X-200 is rapidly becoming the choice for scrap processing and non-destructive testing due to the speed and analytical performance combined with the lightweight, small form-factor design. It’s fast on every alloy family including aluminum alloys. For geochemical applications, LODS are about 1.5x higher than the X-300, and it offers the same suites of elements for environmental, pathfinder, exploration and mining. Also available is the SciAps Empirical App for users that want to test other types of materials and generate their own calibration models. Analyzers may be factory calibrated with fundamental parameters, Compton Normalization (EPA Method 6200), or user defined empirical calibrations.
