The importance of Argon in an OES system
Argon is important for OES Spectrometers analyzing light elements such as Carbon, Phosphorous, Sulfur, and Nitrogen. These elements are below 200 nanometers (nm) in wavelength and the argon allows the optic of a spectrometer to see from 200 and below. Issues with...Sorting 4140 vs 4150
4100 series steel is a chromium and molybdenum steel commonly known as chromoly steel. Chromoly steels are used in aircraft tubing, gears, piston wrist pins, crankshafts, structural tubing and firearms components along with other applications. Due to the popularity of...Does OES create a Heat Affected Zone (HAZ)?
People often ask Verichek Technical Services, Inc. if mobile OES spectrometers create a Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) during pipeline metal analysis. The answer is NO, mobile OES will not create a HAZ within the material. When the spark probe analyzes the pipeline material...Phosphorus and Sulfur with the UV Touch Probe
Phosphorus and Sulfur are important elements in Low Alloy Steel and Stainless Steel. Sulfur is particularly important in determining if a steel has experienced resulfurization as well as grade differentiation. When operators must analyze sulfur or phosphorus in the...Lightweight Mobile OES for PMI
Oxford Instruments introduces a new portable arc / spark metal analyzer, the PMI-MASTER Smart. It is the only true portable and full range optical emission spectrometer in the market, designed for metal analysis especially in hard to reach places. Despite its 33 lbs...
