SciAps - Argon Gas Capsules Z70 / Z901 Aluminum (Al) LIBS Analyzers

Argon Gas Capsules Purge Systems for SciAps Z70 & Z901 Aluminum (Al) LIBS Analyzers – Optimizing Light Element Analysis

The Critical Role of Argon in Aluminum Alloy Analysis

For professionals conducting aluminum alloy verification and grade identification, argon gas purging is essential for achieving:

• Superior detection limits for light elements (Be, Mg, Si)

• Enhanced measurement precision in aluminum matrices

• Reduced atmospheric interference from nitrogen/oxygen

SciAps-Specific Argon Solutions

Our high-purity argon gas systems are engineered specifically for:
• SciAps Z70 LIBS Analyzer – The dedicated aluminum alloy analyzer
• SciAps Z901 – When configured for LIBS aluminum analysis

Technical Implementation

Optimal Purging Configuration:

• Flow Rate: 5-10 L/min (optimized for SciAps purge cups)

• Purity Level: 99.996% (4.6 grade) or higher recommended

• Pressure Requirements: 20-30 psi regulated output

Field-Proven Benefits:
✓ 50-70% sensitivity improvement for Mg, Si detection vs. air
✓ Stabilized plasma conditions for repeatable results
✓ Reduced matrix effects in 5xxx and 6xxx series alloys

Industry Applications

• Aerospace QA/QC – AMS specifications verification
• Automotive Manufacturing – 6xxx series temper validation
• Scrap Sorting – Instant 2xxx vs 7xxx series identification

Best Practices

• Always pre-purge for 3-5 seconds before analysis

• Maintain consistent sample distance during purge

• Regularly inspect O-rings and purge cup seals
