Innov-X Knows Metals and Alloys

Testing times that once took 5 to 10 seconds with handheld XRF now take just 1 to 2 seconds to complete and provide even greater accuracy and precision. This means PMI inspectors and QC personnnel can run hundreds more tests per day with complete confidence in the results, further increasing productivity, boosting customer confidence, and maximizing the bottom line.

Exclusive DELTA Alloy Analysis Features

The DELTA is a reliable and rugged analyzer that maximizes both speed and accuracy. The concscientious inspector can maximize testing speed without increasing the risk of mistaken IDs or erroneous readings. Innov-X SmartSort solution automates all these decisions, enabling even inexperienced operators to maximize both speed and inspection accuracy. This powerful feature yields optimized throughput and accuracy, making the DELTA an extremely productive XRF for alloy inspection.

Within seconds, the DELTA provides an easy-to-interpret results screen that can be viewed in a customizable list or spectral format. Simple, fast data export is achieved via USB, Bluetooth to Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, or printed directly via a wireless printer.

SmartSort Mode

• Enables specific grades to be set up to automatically extend testing time, thus preventing mix-ups
• Maximizes effieciency for speed testing. Automatically extends tests for light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) when absolutely necessary, thus eliminating unnecessarily long tests, and preventing mix-ups
• Makes the DELTA an extremely fast analyzer for inspections

Grade Match Messaging

• Enables qualitative information and messages to be added into the grade ID library
• Fully customizable messages allow for refinery-specific coding messages
• Can be used to store multiple messaging libraries for individual work sites

Welding Grade Library

Analysis results display demonstrating nominal value (3% Al) and Tramp element (0.09% Fe) features.

Tramp Library

• A long-time standard in OES systems, the DELTA is the first HHXRF to offer this feature
• Allows operators to set a max tolerated concentration for individual elements in 7 unique grade families; these elements are considered "Tramp"
• The DELTA comes preloaded with a tramp library based on industry standards
• The analyzer can identify and report tramp material, enabling the user to simplify grade matching by not having to count small, expected amounts of tramp elements against the grade match
• Detect and quantify tramp residuals critical to selective corrosion investigations and failure analysis

Easy Exporting

Within seconds, the DELTA provides an easy-to-interpret, customizable results screen. Data can be exported to Microsoft Excel via USB or Bluetooth, or printed directly via a wireless printer. Custom report generation is straightforward using the DELTA PC Software included with all DELTA anlyzers.
