The SciAps X-505 sets a new performance standard for handheld XRF. It’s the lightest, fastest, most articulate X-ray gun ever made — 2.98 lbs. with battery — and delivers the small size, blazing speed and high precision of the SciAps X Series in a perfectly balanced device. The X-505 was especially designed for NDT, PMI users who must access hard-toreach test locations and welds. The X-505 also features a powerful, miniaturized X-ray tube designed to excel at measuring low atomic number elements Si, P, S, Mg and Al. This tube combined with highly optimal internal geometry yields fast, precise results on previously challenging applications like measuring silicon for sulfidic corrosion, and low magnesium in aluminum alloys.
SciAps X-505 analyzes common alloys in 1 second or less. For alloys requiring longer test times or two-beam analysis, pre-configured on-board apps assure quality testing by every operator. Tap the Residuals App, for example, and the analyzer uses pre-set testing times to measure low concentrations of Cr, Cu and Ni, then calculates the sum. Operators won’t be adjusting test times in the field, or generating insufficient data quality due to incorrect testing times. Our patent-pending Aluminum App is optimized for both low atomic number elements and transition metals for ultra-fast, highly specific verification of the many similar aluminum grades. Grades 3003/3004/3005, Cast 356 and 357, and 2014/2024 are just a few examples that are easy for the X but often confound other X-ray guns.
The X Series is built on Google’s Android platform for realtime data exporting. The user interface has the feel of a smartphone with results easily viewed on a vibrant display and reversible light/dark for all lighting conditions. Builtin Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and USB mean that users can print and email from the X and connect to virtually any information management system for efficient test data and reporting.
For users who need to also measure carbon in steels, stainless and cast iron, SciAps manufacturers the Z — the world’s only handheld laser system (LIBS) capable of measuring carbon content low enough to separate L and H grade stainless. SciAps Z has achieved global acceptance with nearly 1,000 units delivered. The Z also analyzes beryllium, boron and lithium in alloys. Packaged together with shared accessories in the One Box, the X and Z provide optimal performance for virtually every alloy and element, and for less money than a comparable spark OES system.
