What does this instrument measure, and who is it for?
It measures the elemental composition of solid metal samples, directly and without dissolution. It is built for foundries, metal QC and incoming-inspection laboratories. It is a benchtop instrument intended for continuous laboratory duty, with a plumbed gas supply and extraction over the source.
What measurement principle does it use?
A programmable spark excites the solid surface directly; a Paschen-Runge optic with CMOS detectors reads the emission. No dissolution, no reagents, result in seconds.
Which specifications are confirmed?
The specification table lists twenty-seven confirmed ordering parameters for this instrument. Use them to compare the operating range, utilities, and analytical performance required by the method. They include Optical System - Wavelength Range at 174~520 nm, Aperture of spark stand at 13mm (optional: 6mm) and EMC at IEC 610004-2, 61000-4-4, 61000-4-5.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Confirm argon supply and purity, exhaust extraction over the torch or spark stand, single-phase power and breaker rating, bench load rating, and cooling water where the design requires it. These are configured and quoted per installation, so raise anything unusual about the site during quote review rather than after delivery.
What else is needed to run it?
A microwave digestion system, unless your samples already arrive in solution. Elemental analysis is only as good as the dissolution that preceded it, and an incomplete digest reports a low result with no indication that anything went wrong.
How is it supplied?
This instrument is configured and quoted per installation rather than sold at a list price. Request a quote and we will confirm the configuration, the site requirements and the lead time before anything is ordered.
