The Bruker S1 TITAN Positive Material Identification (PMI Guns) S1 TITAN model 500 (Ti-U) and 500s/800 (Mg-U) offer lab-based quality in a portable instrument for identifying exact alloy elemental analysis. The unit enables a one-button-press for fast and accurate material identification.
The use of handheld XRF units (other names include XRF gun, PMI gun, portable XRF, pXRF, x-ray test, scrap tester, handheld elemental analysis, metal identity gun) typically:
- Avoids any potential material mix up.
- Avoids costly reworks.
- Avoids the failure of critical components.
- Ensures that the correct material is used.
- Identifies the presence of restricted materials.
- Identifies material generally.
