Application Notes
Determination of Sulfur in Heavy Fuel Oil, Wear Metals and Additives in Lubricating Oil
For environmental and quality reasons, the measurement of Sulfur in Fuel Oils is monitored and controlled by both national and international guidelines. Regulations are in place to cap the Sulfur content of fuel oil as a measure to control SOx emissions, and special fuel quality provisions exist for emission control areas such as ports and costal areas. In addition the accuracy in determining the sulfur concentration in Fuel Oils is a critical parameter in determining fuel
quality. An off spec fuel can wear out the engine and cause severe damage to other critical parameters.
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 is your answer for the best analytical performance without compromising field portability or operator safety. |
