Product information

Unlike other techniques available (e.g. titration), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is rapid, simple, and does not require the use of chemicals. It is a field-proven technique that is widely used in the oil industry. With results available in seconds, it is a nondestructive technique, and can be used by any operator with minimal training.

Our field-portable XRF analyser, the X-MET8000, combines a high performance X-ray tube and large area silicon drift detector (SDD) to deliver the speed and performance needed for the routine determination of sulfur in fuels.

Robust (IP54 rated to ensure minimal ingress of dust and splash water; tested to MIL-STD 810G for ruggedness) and compact, the X-MET is versatile and can be used on-board a ship, in a laboratory, or taken to where the analysis needs to be performed.

The X-MET offers users flexible data management to suit all needs: results are automatically stored in the analyser. They can be transferred to a USB flash drive or a PC, printed on a portable Bluetooth printer, or shared in real-time through our App and cloud service.

Features

  • Complies with ASTM D4294, ISO8754 and IP336 sulfur test methods
  • Rugged, fast and easy to use
  • Embedded GPS to pinpoint where the analysis is performed
  • Real-time data sharing and management with our app and cloud service
  • Long battery life (up to 12 hours): no need to swap or recharge batteries during a shift.

Benefits

  • Take the analyser from ship to ship, port to port (ideal for port authorities)
