4 SPECTROSCAN МАКС UNIVERSALITY. REALIBILITY. SAFETY. SPECTROSCAN МАКС provides the determination of elements from Sodium ( 11 Na) up to Uranium ( 92 U) in the wide concentration range from the limit of detection up to 100%. KEY POINTS Measurement range from Sodium to Uranuim in a single sample. It doesn t require connection to water mains or gas supply. Integrated cooling system. Spectrometer is controlled by built-in PC with 8 sensor display. An upgraded sample changing system for 10 samples facilitates the sample placement. To improve analyzing performance of the instrument, the measurement path is installed in vacuum, but the analyzed sample is placed in air environment allowing analyzing ofliquid and powdered samples without extra efforts. The spectrometer operation is based on irradiation of the sample with primary X-rays generated by X-ray tube, registration of the secondary fluorescence from the sample elements preliminary diffracted on a crystal, and calculation of the elements concentration with the help of calibration equation, which is a relation between the element concentration and intensity of the registered secondary emission from the element. The spectrometer has high resolution of spectral lines and therefore provides accurate determination of elements in complicated multicomponent substances. The spectrometric channel of spectrometer is evacuated but the samples are located outside the vacuum that allows analyzing substances in solid, powder or liquid state without previous sample preparation. SPECTROSCAN MAKC is equipped with X-Ray tube a power of 160 W with a side radiation output, goniometer located in evacuated volume, four automatically interchangeable analyzer crystals, twochambered radiation detector, automated, multiposition sample changer and an integrated PC with touch screen.

Analysis of the chemical composition is usually carried out at a melting control and certification of finished products. Companies, whose raw materials are alloys, require an input control of the chemical composition of the alloy. The same problem may arise among consumers of metal products at the stage of operation and maintenance. X-ray fluorescence method can be used to determine a wide range of elements with content ranges from hundredths and thousandths of a percent up to 100%. The element content runs on the calibration curves calibrated on reference samples. While the alloy analysis, samples must have a disk shape with a diameter of mm or mm in height and 15 mm.
