SPECTROTEST

The arc/spark mobile metal analyzer for precise analysis without compromise

OVERVIEW +
- No compromise: high resolution optical system for probably widest element range (even N, Li, Na), all elements necessary for a complete metal analysis on the spot are available
- Unique new iCAL 2.0 one sample standardization helps maintain the same standardization – regardless of most temperature shifts and saves on average 30 minutes per day
- Flexible point-and-shoot analysis with various quick to change sample probes, battery powered operation – up to 800 measurements on a single charge
The SPECTROTEST is a mobile arc spark spectrometer ideal for many applications in the metal producing, processing, and recycling industries. This mobile metal analyzer flaunts its superior performance especially when exact metal analysis is required, when materials are difficult to identify or when there is a large number of samples to be tested.

The new readout system and iCAL 2.0 diagnostics software upgraded the SPECTROTEST and allows users perform a single-sample standardization (in less than 5 minutes) at the start of the day’s testing and the iCAL diagnostics now helps to maintain the same standardization, regardless of most temperature shifts.

The complex arc spark spectrometer design offers many ergonomic advantages for safe and fatigue-free onsite operation. The light, thin probe is quickly converted between arc excitation and spark excitation (arc spark OES). A probe with an integrated UV optic is available for special measuring applications; it can also be utilized with arc excitation.

This arc spark spectrometer is even able to identify low alloy steel with the carbon content during the rapid arc excitation mode. In spark mode, the SPECTROTEST’s analysis of carbon phosphorous and sulfur are potential applications in addition to the identification of duplex steels using the nitrogen content.

The SPECTROTEST also offers the option of automated operation for high sample volumes. For this purpose, the instrument has an automation interface with TCP-IP connection. With this approach the sample throughput can be significantly increased.

- SPECTRO FOCUS Aluminum Recycling (PDF, en)
Recycling aluminum alloys is beneficial both financially and environmentally and has become a major industry in its own right. There are two major reasons for this: firstly, aluminum alloys are particularly amenable to recycling and can be recycled many times without losing their properties and secondly, huge energy savings are possible as recycling uses only 5% of the energy required to extract and refine new aluminum. Many specialized aluminum alloys have been developed for applications such as aviation and the automotive industry and these command premium prices, both as new material and scrap. It is therefore in the best interest of the recycler to identify input material and separate the various grades before processing. This is best done by elemental analysis. Laboratory analysis is sometimes not feasible or necessary and expensive and can involve unacceptable delays.

But modern mobile and portable analyzers are available that can handle the necessary analyses on site to provide accurate and positive material identification even when used by non-specialist operators. This paper describes two such instruments from SPECTRO Analytical Instruments, the SPECTRO xSORT hand-held metals analyzer, the SPECTROTEST mobile emission spectrometer and the portable metal analyzer SPECTROPORT, and their application to the analysis of aluminum alloys.

- SPECTRO FOCUS Positive Material Identification PMI (PDF, en)
Explosions, fires, and other incidents in industrial environments receive wide publicity. Financial losses to operators and insurers can easily run to many millions of dollars. Not infrequently, these incidents are traced to the use of piping, valves, and similar components made of inappropriate materials.

In many cases, the presence or absence of a particular alloying element in a steel component is critical to its performance but impossible to detect by physical inspection. It’s why today, spectrometric analyzers have become vital components for the performance of PMI in these environments.

This new paper reviews several situations that occur regularly and then explains the leading technologies and the instruments that are most effective in detecting the inappropriate alloying elements. Sample test results are included to demonstrate each instrument’s analytical capability.

- White Paper: Nine Elements That Challenge Handheld XRF Analyzers — But Are Easy for OES (PDF, en)
Handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers are useful for many elemental measuring tasks across numerous industries and applications. Advanced models — such as the SPECTRO xSORT handheld XRF spectrometer from SPECTRO Analytical Instruments — produce fast, accurate results on the spot, for sample identification, grade sorting, and metals analysis involving elements from magnesium to uranium. However, XRF technology faces significant limitations for certain elements. These constraints make it difficult or impossible to get satisfactory performance from handheld XRF in a number of applications.

This report highlights these challenging elements — including carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, aluminum, silicon, magnesium, lithium, beryllium, and boron. It explains how they may instead be routinely analyzed by mobile optical emission spectrometry (OES) instruments.

Examples include the SPECTROTEST mobile arc/spark OES metal analyzer and the SPECTROPORT portable arc/spark OES metals analyzer. Each can easily analyze the particularly challenging elements that handheld XRF technology cannot.

- Whitepaper: Mobile metal analyzers: on-the-spot solutions for incoming and outgoing inspection (PDF, en)
Is the metal or metal alloy you’re working with the right one? Does it have the chemical composition that your supplier promised, your process needs, your customer demands, or your product requires?

Metal mistakes and counterfeits are impacting supply chains worldwide. Accepting the wrong alloy at the shipping dock or on the factory floor can mean anything from a troublesome batch rework to a catastrophic loss of business. So for metal producers, metal processors, metal dealers, or service contractors worldwide, inspecting incoming and outgoing metals and their alloys has become a critical quality control (QC) task.

However, outsourcing metal sample testing to third-party laboratories introduces considerable time and expense. Even sending samples to an in-house lab can mean significant delays.

Fortunately, there’s a class of instruments that lets users analyze their metal samples on the spot — easily, accurately, and affordably. This paper highlights some key capabilities of today’s mobile metal analyzers (MMAs).

- Whitepaper: Standard-based Material Testing: Do your Analyses Fulfill Current Requirements? (PDF, en)
Many users are currently being audited for the first time according to the new versions of ISO 9001 and IATF 16949. These are IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015. The deadlines up to which work could be carried out according to the previous versions of the standards elapsed almost simultaneously on September 14th, 2018 (ISO 9001) and September 16th, 2018 (IATF16949).

Both standards are characterized by the fact that, compared with their predecessors, they place increased demands on the performance of measurements and tests. These intensifications are reasonable. By following these rules, the risk of giving “incorrect” results is significantly decreased. Such errors can have considerable consequences such as accidents resulting in damage to material and personnel, product recalls, etc. A logical system for avoiding incorrect results must therefore be welcomed.

The key points of the standard requirements are outlined in this paper. Compliance to the cited standards ensures working according to the state of the art. It is beneficial to be able to prove this in the event of damage or loss. Learn more in this informative whitepaper!

Application Reports
- Application Brief: Carbon Levels: the Critical Factor in Steel Analysis and Alloy Sorting (MMA-12-AB)
With many steel products, analysis isn’t simple. You must distinguish small differences in elemental composition between grades and the steel’s carbon content is critical. It helps determine characteristics such as weldability, hardening, and corrosion resistance. The core problem is that handheld analyzers lack the ability to determine carbon content. So some users bring samples into the lab for testing on sophisticated spectrometers. Others incur the potential risk of not testing carbon content at all.

Fortunately, recent advances in technology have created high-capability, mobile OES metal analyzers. These instruments can quickly and precisely
measure the carbon content of steel or provide fast alloy sorting based on carbon content — on the dock or at the line.

- MMA-16: Cast Iron Analysis Using Spark OES
Cast iron alloys must be accurately identified and verified to meet the chemical composition specified by a customer or an industry. The production or use of unsuitable alloy cast iron carry the risk that for example the subsequent production process does not run correctly or that the components produced do not meet the customer’s requirements. Expensive rework, recalls or total loss of orders could be the result.

Mobile and stationary instruments can be used to analyze cast iron. To monitor a melting process, a stationary instrument must be used as the precision for carbon is higher than with a mobile instrument. For analyses in the field or a huge and heavy sample geometry, a mobile instrument can be extremely handy. The results are precise enough to determine the main elements carbon and silicon. For analyzing cast iron samples, whether it is a mobile or a stationary metal analyzer, an optimized method is used: Cast iron requires a much longer pre-spark time. The method is named Fe-20 or Fe-20MO on a mobile metal analyzer.

This application report shows how mobile and stationary spark OES instruments can be used to analyze cast iron. Differences in the performance of the two instrument categories are also shown, so that the appropriate metal analyzer can be selected depending on the requirements.

- SMA-99: Analytical Solutions for Aluminum Recycling
Recycling aluminum (Al) alloys increasingly helps shape a sustainable economy, offering both environmental and financial benefits. Aluminum alloys can be reprocessed many times without losing useful properties. Additionally, recycling uses only 5 % of the energy required to extract and refine new aluminum.

Specialized aluminum alloys — developed for applications such as aviation, transportation, medical, piping, defense, communications and automotive — command premium prices. Supply chain fluctuations can impact price and availability; for example, a magnesium (Mg) shortage has recently affected production of aluminum grades that require this alloying element.

It’s therefore important for recyclers, refiners/remelters, producers, and end users to ascertain exact elemental compositions in incoming scrap streams, in-process grades, and finished products. This report highlights classes of elemental analyzers that can provide easy identification and measurement of aluminum alloys.
