Handheld XRF for Positive Material Identification (PMI)
The Bruker S1 TITAN is a proven handheld XRF analyser for fast and accurate Positive Material Identification (PMI) in industrial environments. It verifies alloy grades in seconds, helping QA and inspection teams confirm material compliance before welding, fabrication, or maintenance shutdowns.
It is lightweight, rugged, and easy to use. The S1 TITAN delivers laboratory-level accuracy directly in the field. Simply point and shoot and results appear instantly with full element composition and grade match.
The patented DetectorShield™ protects the detector window from punctures or debris, keeping you operational in demanding environments like refineries, fabrication yards, or construction sites.
For hard-to-reach areas, the analyser can be mounted on an extension pole, allowing safe PMI checks on overhead pipework, flanges, and storage tanks – no ladder required.
Wireless connectivity enables instant data transfer for QA/QC reporting, material traceability, and audit compliance.
