The SPECTRO xSORT family of handheld ED-XRF spectrometers supplies elemental testing and metal & material analysis in widely varying conditions. These energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence devices are recognized for ruggedness and reliability on the job. They offer metals or nonmetals identification in seconds that provide repeatable, laboratory-quality results. Simple, user-friendly and efficient ergonomics make these instruments extremely easy to use. At a range of affordable prices, SPECTRO xSORT handheld XRF analyzers are leaders in their class for a broad spectrum of applications. 

  • Robust tool, analyzes most alloys in 2 seconds, and identifies alloys containing light elements in 7 seconds, standard calibration captures alloys and precious metals for 16 matrices with 46 elements
  • Instrument usually ready to measure within 10 seconds after switching on, offers simultaneous result storage in various formats at different destinations (USB drive, network, or printer)
  • Compliance testing and quick screening of non-metallic samples. Video-camera for exact sample positioning and documentation of measured spot.
Field-proven Quality

SPECTRO xSORT spectrometers are used in the plant, on the jobsite, or in the most challenging field locations. They deliver laboratory-quality results in a matter of seconds. SPECTRO xSORT models are optimized for simple on-site measurements. A focus on long-term reliability is evident in their design. Example: its shutter and unique drift correction allow SPECTRO xSORT to continuously correct for drift — eliminating the need for tedious annual recalibration!

SPECTRO xSORT Alloy – Affordable Metals Identification

This entry-level model employs an innovative silicon PIN (Si-PIN) detector. Get grade identification of metals in seconds without extensive analysis. With the xSORT family’s reliability and ease of use (including an ultra-simple pass/fail sorting mode), SPECTRO xSORT Alloy is ideal for the quick incoming inspection of materials — and more.

SPECTRO xSORT AlloyPlus – Advanced Metals Analysis

With its top-of-the-line silicon drift detector (SDD), this model provides reliable, high-productivity measurement and analysis. Get metal grade analysis in only 2 seconds for most alloys, and identify alloys based on light elements such as aluminum, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur in 7 seconds.
It’s ideal for scrap metals sorting, positive material identification (PMI), and more!

SPECTRO xSORT NonAlloy – Fast Element Screening

Our largest silicon drift detector (SDD) helps provide reliable measurement and analysis of nonmetallic materials — with an outstanding level of performance. Get high-productivity spot checks in a few seconds, or hold on the sample longer for laboratory-quality ppm results. Ideal for environmental and RoHS compliance screening, as well as for geological exploration and more.

When SPECTRO xSORT NonAlloy is used as an XRF RoHS tester, operators don’t need to mess with methods or bother with flushes or vacuum systems. As a RoHS tester, it can compare results with stored limit values as ABOVE LIMIT, BELOW LIMIT or INCONCLUSIVE.

For more complex matrices such as in environmental screening, SPECTRO xSORT achieves very low detection limits without the need for complex sample preparation.

SPECTRO XSORT APPLICATIONS 

XRF-70: Analysis of Solid Metal Samples Short measuring times with a high sample throughput are possible. Specially developed detector technology, based on SDD, enables high signal throughput at high resolution; allowing for a unique analytical flexibility and a considerably accelerated signal processing. With the SPECTRO xSORT it is possible to conduct laboratory-like analyses in a single measuring cycle that lasts only 2 seconds, except for the light elements Mg, Al, Si, P and S they require a longer measurement time. Only 10 additional seconds are necessary for the sorting of various aluminum and magnesium alloys. During this process even the light elements Al, Mg, Si, P and S are measured in air – without complicated additional techniques like helium flushing or vacuum, simplifying operation decidedly. The analysis screen supplies the operator with all of the necessary information at a single glance and can display the measurement result in different views - also during measurement. The analytical results are stored and can be displayed later, printed and, after transfer to an external computer, processed with the “Result Manager” software.

 XRF-53: Analysis of solid metal samples using SPECTRO xSORT non-alloy The excitation using a miniaturized low power X-ray tube is optimized to realize short measurement times at maximum impulse throughput. Specially developed detector technology based on SDD, enable up to 10 times higher signal throughput than conventional instruments; allowing for a unique analytical flexibility and a considerably accelerated signal processing. 

 XRF-71: RoHS Compliance & Lead Screening Excitation of the fluorescence radiation in the sample by an X-ray tube has been optimized so that extremely short measuring times with a high sample throughput are possible. Specially developed detector technology, based on SDD, enables high signal throughput at high resolution; providing unique analytical flexibility. Only with the SPECTRO xSORT it is possible to conduct laboratory-like analyses of all important elements for RoHS or lead screening. Normally, an analysis is complete within 30 seconds. This report describes the strengths of the SPECTRO xSORT using the analytical results from different samples from polymers to alloys.

Application Brief: Improved XRF analysis for steel component PMI to prevent corrosion (MMA-13-AB)



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.

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.
