For fast, accurate elemental analysis of metals, you want a spectrometer that’s proven in foundry or material control applications like yours — and also includes the latest innovations. SPECTROMAXx is likely the best-selling arc/spark optical emission spectrometer (OES) line of all time. So the newest SPECTROMAXx analyzer has been intelligently upgraded to offer proven innovation and performance.

It features SPECTRO’s proprietary iCAL 2.0 calibration logic, which needs only 5 minutes and a single sample per day rather than the 30 or more minutes needed by conventional analyzers. SPECTROMAXx with iCAL 2.0 compensates for most changes in environmental temperature or pressure without requiring reruns.

SPECTRO is one of the worldwide leading suppliers of analytical instruments, employing optical emission (stationary and mobile Arc/Spark OES, ICP-OES) and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) technology, used for the elemental analysis of materials in industry, research and academia. SPECTRO is a member of the AMETEK Materials Analysis Division.

iCAL 2.0 is an evolutionary development of SPECTRO’s proprietary iCAL calibration logic system. iCAL 2.0 enables SPECTRO’s mobile and portable metal analyzers to deliver unsurpassed analyzer stability, even in the face of most temperature changes.

With pre-defined calibration packages and the iCAL 2.0 diagnostics software, SPECTRO’s stationary, mobile and portable metal analyzers allow users to perform a single-sample standardization (in less than 5 minutes) at the start of the day’s testing. The iCAL diagnostics ensure stable performance throughout a typical day, usually without the need of additional standardization.

The traditional use of X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) has its roots in geology. Solid samples were the first sample types analyzed by X-rays. Over the years the applications expanded and nowadays the applications cover the analysis of alloys, various types of powder samples to liquid samples and filter material.

Refineries, lubrication oil blending plants, independent testing laboratories, and regulatory agencies worldwide demand fast, easy, accurate, affordable analysis for petroleum refining and petrochemical applications. The new SPECTROCUBE benchtop XRF analyzer fulfills all these requirements, and more.

For example, users must swiftly verify that gas, diesel, or other fuels meet specified limits for sulfur (S) content. SPECTROCUBE minimizes delays — ensuring the fastest possible turnaround times from sample taking to analysis results. It can analyze a sample in half the time of other spectrometers, with comparable precision! Or with longer measurement intervals, it offers the best detection limits in its class.

In lube oil testing, SPECTROCUBE provides exceptional ease of use — even for inexperienced users — using a single simple method for the analysis of various oil types. And it easily analyzes trace elements in used oils.

It also furnishes advanced performance for a host of other petrochemical applications. For instance, it efficiently tests crude oils for regulated concentrations of nickel (Ni), vanadium (V), and iron (Fe).

Choose SPECTROCUBE for all your petrochemical analysis needs!

See What Your Lube Oil Analysis Is Missing:
27 Elements, Only 1 Method

To analyze today’s lubrication oils and additives, petrochemical blending plants must measure an increasing number of elements. Fortunately, an advanced ED-XRF spectrometer can do the job. It simultaneously analyzes all 27 elements that may be required— easily and accurately — using only one analytical method.

- Highly accurate results in under 20 seconds (example: low-alloy steels)
- Regular maintenance intervention requirements (spark stand cleaning) reduced by a factor of 8
- On average factor 2 improvement in detection limits for low-alloy steels and a factor 5 improvement for pure aluminum metals versus previous models
- Instrument footprint reduced by 27%
- iCAL 2.0 — one sample standardization for the complete system, saving 30 minutes a day

SPECTRO, the arc/spark innovation leader, has spent more than 40 years developing the world’s leading OES instruments.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) has become the leading technology for routine analysis of liquid samples as well as materials that can be easily turned into a liquid form by dissolution or digestion. Its origin lies in so-called spectroscopes and spectrographs that allow visual evaluation of spectral lines on a film, which required much experience and time in order to obtain reliable results. The developments in electronics and data processing allowed instruments to appear on the market in the middle of the 1970s which helped overcome these obstacles and enable the routine use of optical emission spectroscopy in laboratories.

During the last decades, ICP-OES has seen dramatic improvement. While the first commercially available instruments relied on time consuming sequential measurements or had limited availability of emission lines due to the use of Photomultiplier Tubes (PMT), today's systems are able to capture wide spectral areas simultaneously in a short time thanks to modern solid state detector technology.

The video presents an easy-to-understand introduction into the physics and the technology of an optical emission spectrometer.
