Fondis Electronic distributes a new portable Libs analyzer (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) manufactured by Thermo Scientific: Niton Apollo.
It meets a growing demand among manufacturers for easy, accurate measurement of carbon content in steel. As a result, it can be used to monitor critical parts on production lines in all sectors.
When inspecting products such as pipes, valves and tanks, the Apollo verifies that no non-conforming alloys have been used during the manufacturing process.
In addition to carbon steels, the Apollo also differentiates between high- and low-carbon stainless steels (such as 304/304 L or 316/316L).
The Apollo also accurately measures the following elements: Al, Si, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Nb, Mo, W: Al, Si, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Nb, Mo, W. Equivalent carbon is calculated directly during measurement.
Results are obtained in 10 seconds, the batteries are hot-swappable and have an autonomy of three to four hours each.
The Apollo is easy to use: the interface is highly intuitive, the screen is color, touch-sensitive and tiltable, and it weighs 2.9 kg including batteries. The analyzer is safe (three safety levels to trigger a measurement) and resistant (IP54 protection rating).
According to Fondis Electronic, this is a high-performance device designed for the field.
Fondis Electronic, a subsidiary of the Physitek Group, has been distributing metal analysis solutions since 1982. The company has acquired expertise in elemental analysis and offers a complete range of portable XRF and LIBS spectrometers. Its technical team in Voisins-le-Bretonneux (78) provides after-sales service for its instruments.
