The X-MET 3000TA is a rugged,handheld XRF analyzer whichincorporates advanced x-ray tubetechnology. The X-MET 3000TAXRF alloy analyzer provides afast and simple way to performalloy analysis outside in the field,inside in the laboratory or on-sitein the production process.
X-MET 3000TA is the rightsolution- whenever fast and effectivescrap sorting is required
- whenever accurate PMIneeds to be done by inspectorsin petrochemical or chemicalplants
- whenever alloy confirmation isrequired in production ofmetal fabrication
No isotopes: no resourcing
costs and no travel
restrictions *
Miniature x-ray tube technology
minimizes licencing procedures
and costs.
Unlike instruments with radio-
active isotope sources there are
no special regulatory requirements
regarding the transportation and
storage of the instrument. It can
be carried on airplanes as carry-
on baggage.
The tube warranty is longest in the
industry due to proprietary
technology.
An x-ray tube based instrument
generates no radiation unless
power is applied to the x-ray tube.
local laws and regulations must
be observed

Fast and accurate resultsfrom samples of differentsizes and shapes
The design of the snout allowseasy access to even the mostdifficult sample shapes e.g.corner welds.
example: The 304/321 separationand Sn or Sb analysis down to0.1% needs only a singlemeasurement.
Titanium stabilized stainless steelcan be separated from normalstainless steels with a singlemeasurement in ten seconds. For
The trigger and PDA can bedetached from the main unit andused remotely allowing theaccess to difficult analysis points.
Small parts andsmall distances between sampleand probe do not effect themeasurement.

A handy instrument standfor benchtop operations isincluded with theinstrument.
Versatile and easy storingof results
A practically unlimited number ofgrades can be stored in theanalyzer.
Recording of results can beautomated if required. Resultscan be read by your PC and itsfamiliar software. An unlimitednumber of results can be storedfor further processing.
For small samplemeasurementsthere is a specialsafety capprovided.

During analysis, whenpower is on, there areseveral automatic safteyfeatures:IR sensor* monitorssample contact.X-ray activation isprevented if anymovement in sampleduring themeasurement.A dual red indicator lighttells when x-rays aregenerated.
Hot sample surfaces can beanalyzed.
Even to tight corner weldsare conveniently accessed.

Fast and reliable Scrap analysis
Accuracy turns into profit
Accurate analysis of Ni, Co, Cu,Ti and other value addingelements allow upgrading ofscrap even with the tighttolerances which metal scrapbuyers use today.
By detecting tramp elementspenalties are avoided. UsingX-MET 3000TA’s empiricalmeasurement you can achievelower detection limits. Raremetals such as Mo, Ta, La, Cd,Zn, Zr and Cd based alloys canbe reliably measured.
High Voltage generator for the x-ray tube rated to 40kV.This enables the elemental range from Ti to Sb to be measured using more sensitive K-lines.
Measurements can bedone in any weatherconditions - rain does notprevent the analysis.
