1 00:00:07,844 --> 00:00:13,989 DELTA XRF Analyzer Labeling for QC/PMI Testing 2 00:00:13,991 --> 00:00:16,983 Positive Material Identifcation—or PMI 3 00:00:16,984 --> 00:00:21,663 requires that materials be tested to verify their alloy grade. 4 00:00:21,664 --> 00:00:25,743 In this video you will see how the DELTA XRF Analyzer 5 00:00:25,744 --> 00:00:29,119 has a unique labeling feature that streamlines 6 00:00:29,121 --> 00:00:33,526 the labeling of alloy material verification tests. 7 00:00:33,528 --> 00:00:37,166 Creating useful, easy, real-time test labeling 8 00:00:37,168 --> 00:00:39,848 has to satisfy three factors: 9 00:00:39,849 --> 00:00:43,419 Minimum keystrokes, Maximum automation, 10 00:00:43,421 --> 00:00:46,418 And a consistent data entry method. 11 00:00:46,419 --> 00:00:48,503 The combination of these guarantees 12 00:00:48,504 --> 00:00:53,035 reliable and traceable testing and reporting. 13 00:00:53,036 --> 00:00:57,641 Creating and populating labels on the DELTA is a simple process: 14 00:00:57,643 --> 00:01:02,300 First, the label names and their options are created in a spreadsheet 15 00:01:02,301 --> 00:01:04,886 Then the CSV version of the spreadsheet 16 00:01:04,888 --> 00:01:07,271 is imported into the DELTA. 17 00:01:07,273 --> 00:01:11,389 This automatically creates the labels and their options. 18 00:01:11,391 --> 00:01:15,431 This is a great way to reduce your analyzer’s setup time. 19 00:01:15,433 --> 00:01:18,246 You can have multiple label files on the DELTA, 20 00:01:18,248 --> 00:01:22,486 and choose the one you need for the tests you are about to run. 21 00:01:22,488 --> 00:01:25,469 The DELTA labeling feature is extremely helpful 22 00:01:25,471 --> 00:01:28,268 in PMI situations such as 23 00:01:28,270 --> 00:01:31,515 Incoming QC Inspection, where the items supplied 24 00:01:31,516 --> 00:01:35,164 need to be tested to make sure they are the items ordered. 25 00:01:35,166 --> 00:01:38,098 and In-Service Testing, to ensure that the correct material 26 00:01:38,099 --> 00:01:41,138 is being used in the proper location. 27 00:01:41,140 --> 00:01:45,041 Incoming QC Inspection Scenario 28 00:01:45,043 --> 00:01:47,261 In the QC inspection scenario, 29 00:01:47,263 --> 00:01:52,256 a fabricator orders six seamless stainless steel 347 grade tubes, 30 00:01:52,258 --> 00:01:54,659 two inches in diameter. 31 00:01:54,661 --> 00:01:56,424 They all should be tested 32 00:01:56,426 --> 00:01:59,851 to ensure that they are the grade ordered. 33 00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:01,919 The QC labels have already been imported 34 00:02:01,921 --> 00:02:04,576 and are ready to use. 35 00:02:04,578 --> 00:02:06,853 From the test window, pull the trigger 36 00:02:06,854 --> 00:02:09,486 and the label setup window opens. 37 00:02:09,488 --> 00:02:13,621 Select all the options needed for this test, including: 38 00:02:13,623 --> 00:02:17,211 The supplier of the item being tested. 39 00:02:17,213 --> 00:02:20,424 The type of Item being tested. 40 00:02:20,426 --> 00:02:23,638 The number of items being tested. 41 00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:27,099 The diameter of the items being tested. 42 00:02:27,101 --> 00:02:31,901 And finally, who is performing the testing. 43 00:02:31,903 --> 00:02:34,349 Since the default result is pass, 44 00:02:34,351 --> 00:02:36,438 it can be left as is. 45 00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:38,508 If the item does not pass the test, 46 00:02:38,509 --> 00:02:43,444 this field can be changed after the test is completed. 47 00:02:43,446 --> 00:02:45,161 Regarding the part count, 48 00:02:45,163 --> 00:02:48,399 the DELTA can count the number of parts being tested. 49 00:02:48,401 --> 00:02:52,884 Setting the part count to one means the count will start at one. 50 00:02:52,886 --> 00:02:58,816 If the part count is left blank the DELTA does not provide a count. 51 00:02:58,818 --> 00:03:01,203 Once the label options have been chosen, 52 00:03:01,204 --> 00:03:04,986 you can start testing, right from the Label screen. 53 00:03:04,988 --> 00:03:07,183 Place the analyzer on the tube, 54 00:03:07,184 --> 00:03:12,493 pull the trigger, and the test begins. 55 00:03:12,494 --> 00:03:15,929 The test results for the first tube is 347, 56 00:03:15,931 --> 00:03:17,993 the expected grade. 57 00:03:17,994 --> 00:03:22,166 It also shows the supplier field from the label window. 58 00:03:22,168 --> 00:03:25,543 The DELTA chooses the first label as the default, 59 00:03:25,545 --> 00:03:29,458 but you can change which label appears on each test. 60 00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:32,308 When the trigger is pulled to start the next test, 61 00:03:32,310 --> 00:03:34,726 the label window comes up. 62 00:03:34,728 --> 00:03:37,578 The part count increments to show that the 2nd part 63 00:03:37,580 --> 00:03:39,883 is about to be tested. 64 00:03:39,884 --> 00:03:42,679 Pull the trigger and the test commences. 65 00:03:42,681 --> 00:03:47,434 The second tube is also the expected 347 grade. 66 00:03:47,436 --> 00:03:50,531 The third tube test starts like the previous two, 67 00:03:50,533 --> 00:03:55,689 with the label window appearing, and the part count now at 3. 68 00:03:55,691 --> 00:03:58,658 Pull the trigger and the test starts. 69 00:03:58,659 --> 00:04:02,273 The results show that the tubing is 321 grade, 70 00:04:02,275 --> 00:04:04,913 not the expected 347. 71 00:04:04,914 --> 00:04:09,076 Tap the info icon to open the Edit Test Info window 72 00:04:09,078 --> 00:04:12,615 and change the result to Fail-Grade. 73 00:04:12,616 --> 00:04:17,688 The fourth, fifth, and sixth tubes are all 347 grade. 74 00:04:17,689 --> 00:04:21,746 The report, which can be used in any PMI software package, 75 00:04:21,748 --> 00:04:26,636 will show the labels and results of this testing sequence. 76 00:04:26,638 --> 00:04:30,648 In-Service Testing Scenario 77 00:04:30,649 --> 00:04:34,889 Selecting a different set of labels to use is simple. 78 00:04:34,891 --> 00:04:37,214 The In-Service Testing labels and their options 79 00:04:37,216 --> 00:04:39,891 have been created in a spreadsheet. 80 00:04:39,893 --> 00:04:41,946 The CSV version of the spreadsheet 81 00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:44,081 has already been imported into the DELTA, 82 00:04:44,083 --> 00:04:47,288 so it just needs to be selected. 83 00:04:47,290 --> 00:04:49,509 Selecting the In-Service Label file 84 00:04:49,511 --> 00:04:52,664 changes the labels that the DELTA will use. 85 00:04:52,666 --> 00:04:56,736 The tests going forward will have the In-Service labels. 86 00:04:56,738 --> 00:05:01,733 the previous tests retain the QC Inspection labels. 87 00:05:01,734 --> 00:05:04,961 Select the component and the location on the component 88 00:05:04,963 --> 00:05:08,676 where the first test will be run. 89 00:05:08,678 --> 00:05:11,046 The Result field defaults to accept, 90 00:05:11,048 --> 00:05:13,504 but if the test needs to be rerun, 91 00:05:13,506 --> 00:05:18,511 this field can be changed to Retest after the test is taken. 92 00:05:18,513 --> 00:05:20,749 Place the analyzer on the sample, 93 00:05:20,751 --> 00:05:23,520 pull the trigger and the test begins. 94 00:05:23,521 --> 00:05:28,829 For each test, the label window appears before the test starts. 95 00:05:28,831 --> 00:05:32,229 It’s a simple matter of changing the location of the test, 96 00:05:32,231 --> 00:05:34,630 and then running the test. 97 00:05:34,631 --> 00:05:38,553 The report, which can be used in any PMI software package, 98 00:05:38,555 --> 00:05:42,958 will show the labels and results of this testing sequence. 99 00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:46,513 Bluetooth Printer 100 00:05:46,515 --> 00:05:49,829 In addition to creating a report from your test results, 101 00:05:49,831 --> 00:05:52,576 you can also print your test results. 102 00:05:52,578 --> 00:05:56,228 The DELTA XRF Analyzer connects wirelessly 103 00:05:56,229 --> 00:06:01,886 to a Bluetooth printer, which is sold as an accessory. 104 00:06:01,888 --> 00:06:04,581 You can print to a label, which can be used 105 00:06:04,583 --> 00:06:07,461 to immediately identify components tested 106 00:06:07,463 --> 00:06:09,858 or you can print to receipt-style paper, 107 00:06:09,859 --> 00:06:12,814 to include with other documentation. 108 00:06:12,816 --> 00:06:14,548 You can print the test results 109 00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:16,281 as soon as the test is taken. 110 00:06:16,283 --> 00:06:22,113 Or you can choose specific tests to print after testing is complete. 111 00:06:22,114 --> 00:06:23,683 As you can see, 112 00:06:23,684 --> 00:06:28,679 whether PMI Testing is for Quality Control or In-Service Testing, 113 00:06:28,681 --> 00:06:32,963 the approach to real-time test labeling is similar. 114 00:06:32,964 --> 00:06:37,171 The DELTA XRF Analyzer’s real-time labeling feature 115 00:06:37,173 --> 00:06:40,924 is a valuable aid in gathering reliable test data 116 00:06:40,926 --> 00:06:44,854 that is critical for accurate PMI testing. 117 00:06:44,856 --> 00:06:48,444 For more information, contact your local representative 118 00:06:48,446 --> 00:06:57,601 or
