Exclusive DELTA Alloy Analysis Features

The DELTA is a reliable and rugged analyzer that maximizes both speed and accuracy. Other XRF systems have trade-offs. They may be able to identify alloys quickly, however inexperienced operators may not be able to determine whether an ID is incorrect, or whether longer testing is required. So how does the conscientious inspector maximize testing speed without increasing the risk of mistaken IDs or erroneous readings? Innov-X's 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.

DELTA for Positive Material Identification

With Newly Available X-act Count Technology

Superior Light Element Analysis
Traditionally a difficult area for handheld XRF, the analysis of light alloys and elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) can now be routine with the DELTA Alloy and Metal XRF Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) Analyzer with the newly available X-act Count Technology. Its integration with a 40kV Rhanode tube and automatic filtering provides fast, precise analysis of transition and heavy metals, and sensitive measurement of light element content. SmartSort maximizes testing throughput - sample by sample, testing is automatically extended or terminated - maximizing accuracy and throughput.

DELTA SDD Analyzer Benefits Magnesium (Mg) detection down to 0.20% Quick and accurate quantification of S content in stainless and low alloy steels -- Reliable identification of 303 and 416 grades Measures Si and Al in stainless, bronzes and other alloys Measures P in carbon steel down to 0.014% with exclusive 3-beam Alloy Plus calibration Extensive grade library combined with SmartSort provides nominal chemistry for light elements when the fastest testing speeds are required

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

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
  
   

The DELTA

Everything You Need in Handheld XRF with State-of-the-Art Innovation

The New Generation DELTA Handheld XRF Analyzers are ergonomically advanced with a forward looking design incorporating the latest in electronics, components, and software technology.

The newly available DELTA X-act Count Technology can provide even better sensitivity and precision in faster time for more materials than before. Throughput is increased with the same or better precision in half the time for most elements.

The unique DELTA Docking Station frees you from having to power down the analyzer. The station charges the analyzer battery and a spare, and performs periodic calibration checks. DELTAs can be operated 24/7 in the field with hot swap battery replacement.
