Overview

A Handheld XRF Built Tough for Maximum Uptime

Vanta^™ handheld XRF analyzers provide fast, accurate chemistry and alloy identification in PMI applications including piping, valves, welds, components, and pressure vessels.

Vanta analyzers are essential for:

Ensuring the correct alloy components are installed in critical locations.
Complying with American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice (RP) 578—Material Verification Program for New and Existing Alloy Piping Systems.
Detecting sulfidation corrosion susceptibility (API RP 939-C).

Rugged

Vanta analyzers are built for in-service inspection of high temperature systems and hot sample surfaces up to 425 °C for maximum productivity.

Working conditions can be tough on electronic devices and breakdowns cost time and money.

Vanta analyzers are durable for increased uptime and a low cost of ownership.

Drop tested using U.S. Department of Defense methods (MIL-STD-810G), reducing the risk of damage and costly repairs when a device is dropped or jostled.
IP55 rated to withstand rain, dirt, and dust.*
The detector shutter on C and M series models helps prevent punctures so you can analyze rough surfaces with confidence.
Withstands a temperature range of -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F) at full duty cycle.**

* M Series analyzers are IP54 rated.
** With optional fan. Operates continuously at 33 °C without the fan.

Revolutionary

Vanta analyzers give you the same accurate result every time from your first test to your hundredth test.

The Vanta Series’ proprietary Axon^™ technology uses ultra-low-noise electronics enabling higher X-ray counts per second for fast, accurate, and repeatable results.

Axon technology coupled with a new quad-core processor make Vanta analyzers remarkably responsive, pushing the limits of performance so you get the best results in the least amount of time. Axon technology provides remarkable test-to-test and instrument-to-instrument repeatability, so your first test is the same as your last test no matter what instrument you may use.

Axon technology also provides ultra-low limits of detection (LOD).

Productive

User-friendly software enables operators to make inspections with minimal training.

Integrated GPS, sample camera, and panoramic camera for improved traceability of test information to the field.
Touch screen display that is clear, bright, and readable in any light.
Intuitive user interface that is easy to navigate.
Customize which features and functions are displayed on the main screen.
Data export is simple via USB flash drive, Wireless LAN, or Bluetooth^®.
Unique username and password login for each user.

Solders

Residual and Tramp Elements

Set maximum tolerated concentrations for residual elements in grade families for fast, accurate, and conclusive grade matches.

Compare close grades side-by-side to know which alloy is the best match with nominal and residual values:

Automatically identify the likely presence of elements invisible to XRF based on grade specifications
Identify the presence of contaminant/residual elements in recycled metals that can compromise its value and/or downstream processing requirements
Set a maximum tolerated concentration for residual elements in grade families
Flag trace level contaminants
