A 5-watt X-ray tube and a 20 mm² silicon drift detector are packed into a 7.25\" x 10.5\" x 4.5\" housing weighing \u003cstrong\u003e2.98 lb with the battery installed\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the measurement nose reaches weld roots, small-bore elbows and other geometry a benchtop instrument cannot get to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts internal geometry is tuned for the light end of the periodic table — \u003cstrong\u003emagnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus and sulfur\u003c\/strong\u003e — which is what makes it practical for silicon determination in sulfidic corrosion screening and for low-magnesium work in aluminum alloys. Stepping the tube up to 50 kV brings rare earth elements and the gold pathfinder elements antimony and silver into range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePositive material identification (PMI) and NDT\u003c\/strong\u003e — verify welds, piping, valves and pressure equipment in place, including hard-to-reach test locations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSulfidic corrosion screening\u003c\/strong\u003e — low-silicon determination in carbon steel, one of the light-element measurements this instrument is specifically optimized for.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnvironmental soil metals screening\u003c\/strong\u003e — the soil app covers the 8 RCRA metals and 11 of the 12 EPA priority pollutant metals for on-site delineation and hot-spot mapping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral exploration and grade control\u003c\/strong\u003e — field and core-shack geochemistry, with an optional compact test stand for closed-beam operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrap sorting and incoming material verification\u003c\/strong\u003e — low detection limits on common tramp elements including Cr, Ni, Cu, V, Nb and Mo in steels, and Pb and Bi in nickel alloys.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecious metals and high-temperature alloys\u003c\/strong\u003e — rapid chemistry on stainless, red metals and precious metals using the 22-element precious metals app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50 kV tube capability\u003c\/strong\u003e — reaches rare earth elements and the gold pathfinder elements antimony and silver, not just the routine alloy range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight-element performance\u003c\/strong\u003e — optimized internal geometry for Mg, Al, Si, P and S, where most handheld XRF struggles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20 mm² silicon drift detector\u003c\/strong\u003e — 140 eV FWHM resolution at the Mn K-alpha line for clean peak separation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour-position filter wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e — the beam is optimized per application rather than compromised across all of them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.98 lb with battery, hot-swappable\u003c\/strong\u003e — battery changes in under 60 seconds keep a shift running without a charge break.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and USB\u003c\/strong\u003e — results and coordinates move off the instrument as you work, through an Android-based touchscreen interface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull technical specifications are in the spec sheet:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid lightgray; text-align: center; width: 100%; padding: 12px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.geotechenv.com\/pdf\/xrf_spectrometers\/sciAps_X-550.pdf\" style=\"font-size: 15px;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSPECS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid lightgray; text-align: center; width: 100%; padding: 12px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.geotechenv.com\/Manuals\/SciAps\/SciAps_X-500_QS_Manual.pdf\" style=\"font-size: 15px;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMANUAL\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis analyzer is sold by consultation only.
