The 4 Most Important Parts of a Spectrometer
Spectrometers are like any other complicated mechanical equipment. Regular maintenance and repair extends the life of a spectrometer, but the equipment is not going to last forever. While your spectrometer isn’t going to work forever, you can make it last a lot longer...
Troubleshooting Common Spectrometer Issues
Although optical emissions spectrometers are relatively sturdy instruments, they do require regular maintenance. Even if a spectrometer is properly maintained, wear and tear will mean that it may occasionally require troubleshooting to get it to work as expected....
4 Reasons for OES Calibration & Maintenance [It Will It Save Your Company Money]
Optical emissions spectrometer calibration and periodic maintenance (PM) are essential tasks that you need to do on a regular basis to ensure that your equipment continues to function as intended. This is one of our primary Optical-Emission Spectrometers (OES)...
What is a Rotrode Emission Spectrometer [RES]?
RES stands for Rotrode Emission Spectrometer, which is a type of tool that is used to determine metals present in oil samples. It is a specific designation based on the size of the particles that the spectrometer can detect, typically the detection limits are between...
Elemental Analysis Using Optical Emission Spectroscopy
Elemental analysis has been around since the early 19th century when Louis Jacques Thenard and Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac conducted research on electrochemical analysis. It has evolved steadily over time, but has dramatically progressed over the last two decades. One of...
Spectrometer Units: What Does a Spectrometer Measure?
Spectrometry and spectroscopy are related but they are not the same thing. Spectrometry is the application of spectroscopy; spectrometry creates quantifiable results for later assessment. Once you understand the basics of spectrometers, you will need to understand...
What is Hardness Testing
Hardness testing metal is an essential part of ensuring the integrity and safety of any metal product that will be used in industrial or commercial settings. The process involves measuring the hardness of metals on a scale so that manufacturers can make sure that...
Spectro Analytical Instrument Used for Metal Testing
Spectro has been in business for nearly forty years, making analytical equipment to test metals. Although the company's headquarters is in Germany, its operation reaches every corner of the globe. When looking for a Spectro analytical instrument for metal testing, it...
NDT Methods in Metal Testing
Although it has historically been the preferred method of testing, destructive testing has also been largely the only way to gain accurate results. With the technological advances, non-destructive testing methods (NDT) are proving to be accurate, efficient and include...
Spectroscopy vs. Spectrometry – What’s the Difference in OES?
Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) uses a lot of terms, and occasionally some of them are inaccurately used interchangeably. Though there are certain similarities, spectroscopy and spectrometry are not the same thing. To better understand the difference between them,...
