| XRF Services |
| Sampling Services use X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometers (XRF Analyzers) to deliver fast, non destructive screening for the presence of metallic elements. XRF results are both qualitative and quantitative. |

| What is XRF? |
XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) is a well established technique for positively identifying materials. The technique is quick, reliable and non-destructive.
XRF has two main applications:
- Positive Material Identification
- Screening - eg. confirm the levels of heavy metals are within acceptable limits.
During the XRF process X-Rays are directed on to the material that is being tested. X-Rays cause atoms to go into an excited, higher energy state. As the atoms relax to their normal state a characteristic radiation is emitted and it is this information that the XRF analyser uses to identify the elements present.
The XRF analyser compares the ratios of the elements detected to a library of known alloys. XRF provides qualitative and quantitative data.

What is XRF Used For? |
XRF analysis is ideal for the identification and screening of metals and alloys.
Positive Material Identification (PMI) – XRF is ideal for distinguishing different metals and alloys.
XRF is a non-destructive test and is ideal for:
- Identifying metal stock eg. Sheet metal, Bars, Tubes etc.,
- Identifying components, comparing type of alloys within a product.
Screening – XRF is ideal for carrying out high speed screening for contamination by heavy metals in consumer goods and toys.
