The Business of Science

Positive Material Identification (PMI) is an

indispensable method for modern metal
fabrication and construction process plants

PMI ensures that the

right metal is used
in process systems
where corrosive
conditions, extreme
temperatures and
high pressures meet.
PMI is a mandatory
process conducted by
major companies in the
process industry and in all
companies which supply
process system components
such as valves and pipes.

X-MET5000 the analyzer of

choice in all conditions
IP54 (NEMA 3) certificated as both splash and dust proof
Compact, robust, built to withstand the harshest
conditions
Battery operating time of one working day
Integrated heat shield allows the measurement of
surfaces up to 400C / 750F for extended periods
Analyses narrow weld seams down to 2 mm
Ideal for dusty and humid conditions over extended
periods
Convenient for difficult to reach samples

Accurate and faster verification

of critical materials with the
NEW X-MET5000

The PMI testing process along the whole

metal manufacturing supply chain inspection
of incoming goods, testing during production
and manufacturing of goods has increased in
importance with global supply chains.

Field conditions are tough

on PMI tools!
Robust and easy to use, the X-MET5000
measures alloying elements at very low
concentrations (e.g. Ti in stainless steels at
the level of 0.05%)
In all applications speed and accuracy are
assured and calibrations are traceable
For these reasons, EDXRF is the preferred
measurement technique when concentrations
of light elements such as Carbon are not of
interest.

Data storage and reporting

couldnt be easier:
Virtually unlimited data storage and
reporting, automated as desired
Name samples by touch screen input or
optional barcode reader
Easy data transfer to PC via SD card, WiFi,
Bluetooth or USB cable. No additional
software needed
Optional PC Report Generator is available for
easy, versatile formatting of final QC reports
(Excel compatible)

Accessories

Weld adapter
Wireless printer

Precise point and shoot

analysis
Routine Identification in seconds
304/321 separation or Grade 7/CPTi in less
than 5 seconds

Three modes of operation

Assay and Grade library ID
uses two synchronized analytical modes which
automatically select the correct mode
to give the best analytical result.

Empirical Assay Calibration mode

produces fast, accurate analysis
even at low concentrations. Traceable
reference standards establish the calibration.
This method is useful when all main elements
present in a sample cannot be analyzed such as
in metallic carbides.
Fundamental Parameters (FP) is a universal
standardless calibration where practically any
combination of measurable elements can be
analyzed accurately. FP can measure up to
30 elements between Ti-U regardless of
concentration. The elements analyzed can
be customized for specific applications.
These two modes run smoothly together
even when the user has no information
about the materials composition.
Direct spectral identification

Extensive and open grade

library
In most cases, users need to know the grade
name of an alloy (with or without assay
readings). Tens of thousands of metal grades
are defined worldwide and many of these
definitions are specifically local.
The X-MET5000 allows easy editing of grade
libraries to add new alloys or rename alloys. In
addition the precision of the grades can be
adjusted to prevent false alarms which may
occur during short measurement times.
The X-MET5000 integrated grade library
contains:
Nickel Alloys Stainless Steels Cobalt Alloys
Low Alloy Steel Tool Steels Copper Alloys
Titanium Alloys Zirconium Alloys
Aluminum Alloys (heavy alloying elements)
The X-MET5000 is capable of
storing thousands of grade
identifications. Its easy to
add new elements and to
create a unique
library.

is based on the comparison of

known standard spectra and the
measured spectrum of the sample.
Material can be identified even when no
analytical assay data is available.
PASS/FAIL
mode offers a convenient,
fast way to sort material,
e.g. during delivery inspection.

Splash and dust

proof cover

Analyze large or small sample structures

like bolts, thin tubes or honeycomb in
seconds - just point and shoot!
X-MET5000 compensates for the shape of a sample
Inspect pipes and welds for corrosion resistance conformance
and pressure equipment for alloy composition
Wires of less than 1mm diameter can be identified in seconds

Short learning curve

Intuitive user interface makes it possible
to learn basic functions in a few minutes.
Our network of specialists is ready to
provide training for the more advanced
features of the analyzer

The PentaPIN detector provides faster analysis and lower

detection limits for all elements.

Tel: +358 9 329 411

For example, a 10 second analysis produces the equivalent

result to that of a 30 second analysis made using a standard
Si-PIN detector. It will even separate the small amounts of Hf
and Ta in Nickel alloys, usually too difficult to analyze.
