X-5000 Portable XRF Analyzer For Petrochemical Elemental Analysis
The X-5000 analyzer provides accurate determination of trace to % level of elements in fuels, oils, and lubricants.This powerful field portable analytical instrument is used in a wide variety of industries. From identifying elements to determining the actual elemental concentrations present in a variety of matrices; solid, powdered, and liquid samples. The analytical performance, closed beam safety and ease of use of traditional bench top XRF units are all captured in the X-5000. And it delivers true field portability, being packaged into an easy-to-carry, 22 lb. battery operated XRF with integrated PC and industrialized large touch screen. The X-5000 sets the benchmark for Performance, Power and Portability. |

Key Applications
No sample preparation. Just collect it and analyze. |
The unique sample tray ensures proper placement of the sample every time for accurate analysis. The sample tray accommodates both bottles and cups of any size.
The X-5000 is engineered to be used anywhere - in the field, at the production line, in an inspection area. It ensures operator safety as a fully interlocked, closed beam system. The closed beam, integrated design unique to the X-5000 is a critical safety advancement as portable XRF analyzers continue to increase in x-ray power and be applied to ever more demanding, in-the-field analytical challenges.
