The Benefits of OES Equipment Rentals
Need PMI testing and want to do it in house but don’t want to spend the money to purchase an instrument? Learn more about the benefits of OES equipment rentals, and how it could save you money!
The decision to invest in OES instruments or to rent is not a decision made quickly. Besides identifying exactly what type of testing you require and match that to the appropriate instrument, you need to determine the ROI and how often you will need your OES equipment. While renting is usually a good option, it might also make sense to either purchase a spectrometer or outsource the work.
Is Renting OES Equipment the Right Choice for You?
| Investment Option | Reason |
|---|---|
| Time to Buy | Doing so lowers operating costs |
| Reduces time and money spent sending samples to a laboratory | |
| Increases in-house quality control and product reliability | |
| The process dictates a quick turnaround analysis to proceed to the next step | |
| Why Rent? | Because the large volume of pieces to sort exceeds current capacity |
| The cost of buying an instrument or employing a third party vendor poses too much of a burden | |
| Trained operator is on staff who can perform the sort and reliable equipment is available for a unique event | |
| Outsource | When metal analysis is not part of the core business and the need occurs on an irregular basis |
| The cost of training an operator, buying or renting equipment is too expensive | |
| Third party vendor is required to perform the analysis to your specifications |
