X-ray fluorescence FAQ

How to use XRF technology for detection?

The analyzer emits X-rays. The X-ray strikes the tested sample to make the elements in the sample emit fluorescence, and then returns to the X-ray detector in the analyzer. The analyzer counts the returned X-rays and obtains the analysis results through mathematical operation. XRF is the acronym of X-ray fluorescence. X-ray fluorescence is a powerful technology that can measure a variety of elements from magnesium (mg) to uranium (U) in a nondestructive manner. Its measurable element content can be as low as several parts per million (PPM) or as high as 100% (100%). The handheld XRF analyzer is a portable device that can immediately provide analysis results of comparable quality to the laboratory at the test site, so as to help determine the next action plan and where to test.

What is the purpose of XRF analyzer?

XRF analyzer is used in applications that need to identify the chemical composition of materials or the alloy brand of samples. The portable XRF analyzer can detect those samples that are large, bulky or expensive to transport in the field with technology comparable to that of the laboratory. On site analysis can provide real-time information and enable users to make decisions quickly.

What is the price of an XRF analyzer?

The price of XRF analyzer is affected by many factors, including detector type (pin or silicon drift), X-ray detector size, anode target and accessories. An effective way to determine how much it costs to buy an analyzer is to know what results you need to obtain for the detected elements. Please contact your local Kmx agent for help and purchase an analyzer suitable for your needs.

What does XRF analyzer detect?

The handheld XRF analyzer can detect elements from magnesium (mg) to uranium (U). XRF analyzer can detect almost any sample and obtain accurate results. Common applications using analyzers include waste sorting, identification of alloy grades, quality control (QC) in metal manufacturing, geological exploration or mining, testing of industrial materials, such as cement or coal, and testing of consumer products to find lead or other pollutants in paint layers.

Using Kmx XRF analyzer in scrap metal recycling industry

K-1688 handheld XRF analyzer series is a powerful handheld XRF equipment carefully launched by our company for the scrap metal industry, which can provide fast and accurate element analysis for those who require to recycle scrap alloys on site. The body of the analyzer is very strong, meets the IP55 or IP54 rating standard, passes the fall test, can operate normally for a longer time, and its cost of ownership is low. The k-1688 economical k-800 SDD high configuration is suitable for testing applications in waste recycling and metal manufacturing industries

Handheld XRF analyzer for mining industry

Kmx-xrf K-500 portable XRF analyzer shows advantageous characteristics in the mineral exploration industry. From field mapping to soil sampling to core drilling, portable XRF analyzer can be regarded as an ideal tool for real-time and rapid collection and analysis of geochemical data on site. The K-500 handheld XRF analyzer series provides two cost-effective configurations (Si PIN / SDD) with the advantages of rapid detection, durability and convenient connection. The K-500 analyzer uses Si PIN, which is cost-effective and can complete ore identification and composition analysis at an affordable price. The K-500 plus analyzer uses SDD detector to identify low-grade ores and detect light elements (sulfur, aluminum, silicon, magnesium and phosphorus) at high speed and accurately. Both analyzers can identify the ore after a few seconds of detection, and can easily compare the ore brand.
