FAQ's of Portable Optical Emission Spectrometer:
Q: How does the Portable Optical Emission Spectrometer perform metal analysis on-site?
A: The device uses a high voltage spark discharge to excite the metal sample, then detects emitted light across a wavelength range of 170-800 nm using PMT or CCD array detectors. Results are displayed instantly on a LCD graphical screen for immediate analysis.
Q: What types of metals and elements can be measured with this spectrometer?
A: The spectrometer is suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and can analyze elements such as Fe, C, Si, Mn, P, S, Cr, Ni, Mo, Cu, Al, Zn, and more with high accuracy and resolution.
Q: When is calibration required for the instrument, and how is it performed?
A: Calibration is necessary before first use, after maintenance, or as recommended by quality protocols. It can be performed using standard samples or certified reference materials (CRM) via the instrument's built-in calibration method.
Q: Where can results be stored and exported from the device?
A: You can store up to 10,000 test results in the spectrometer's internal memory, and export data easily via USB, RS-232, or wireless Bluetooth connections to Windows-compatible management software for further analysis or quality documentation.
Q: What are the sample requirements for the spectrometer to ensure accurate measurements?
A: Samples should have a polished, flat surface and must meet minimum size criteria (10-30 mm or 1010 mm) to guarantee reliable excitation and consistent analytical results.
Q: How does the internal battery and protection level benefit field operations?
A: The internal rechargeable Li-ion battery provides up to 8 hours of continuous operation, making the instrument ideal for long field sessions. With IP42 splash and dust resistance, it remains reliable even in harsh industrial conditions.
Q: What is the typical process for using the spectrometer during metal testing?
A: Prepare the specimen with a polished surface, position it under the probe, and initiate analysis using single or multiple spark modes. The microprocessor-based control manages operation, and results are available in less than 15 seconds for immediate decision-making.
