XRF Metal Analyzer

What is an XRF Metal Analyzer?

An XRF metal analyzer, or X-ray Fluorescence metal analyzer, is a non-destructive analytical instrument designed to identify and quantify the elemental composition of materials. It works by emitting a primary X-ray beam onto a sample, exciting its atoms to emit unique "secondary" or "fluorescent" X-rays. The analyzer then measures these characteristic X-rays to determine the specific elements present and their concentrations, all without damaging the sample. This technology helps customers solve crucial material composition problems, providing rapid, precise material verification and quality control. It's indispensable for accurate precious metal assaying and purity determination, combating fraud and ensuring fair valuation in industries like jewelry and recycling, ultimately delivering high accuracy, efficiency, and reliability.

XRF Metal Analyzer: Principle & Applications

How XRF Metal Analyzer Works

The XRF metal analyzer works by emitting a primary X-ray beam onto a sample. This excites atoms within the sample, causing them to emit unique "secondary" or "fluorescent" X-rays. Each element produces characteristic X-rays, like a fingerprint. The analyzer's detector measures the energy and intensity of these emitted X-rays, allowing it to determine the specific elements present and their concentrations. This process is non-destructive, meaning it won't damage the sample.
