Niton XL3t Series

The Niton XL3t handheld x-ray fluorescence analyser combines purpose-built, proprietary electronics with an ergonomic design and easy-to-use software, transforming XRF analysis. It does this through reduced measurement times, increased precision, and lower detection limits than could previously be achieved with portable x-ray fluorescence instruments. From the integrated, tilting, color, touch-screen display to the customizable menus for ease of use, the lightweight Niton XL3t provides you with heavyweight performance and a set of features engineered to improve your productivity and profitability.

With the Niton XL3t analyser you get the following standard accessories: integrated Bluetooth™ and USB communications for direct data transfer to your PC; a locking carrying case; a shielded belt holster; two eight-hour, rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs; a battery charger; reference samples/standards; and the Niton Data Transfer (NDT©) software suite.

A number of different Niton XL3t models are available depending upon your application.

The Niton XL3t 500 Prospector

The Niton XL3t 500 Prospector provides the ideal choice for mining applications, providing unprecedented performance in the palm of your hand. It is a handheld x-ray fluorescence analyser especially designed for measuring elemental concentrations in ores, soils, sediments and cores, coatings and filter media. The Niton XL3t 500 Prospector provides accurate elemental concentrations with minimum set-up required. It provides high resolution and high performance without the need for liquid nitrogen.

When undertaking mine mapping and exploration, the onsite measurement of drill cores and cuttings which is made possible with the Niton XL3t 500 Prospector provides real-time feedback to site managers, without the delays associated with traditional laboratory testing. The instrument can also provide handheld ore-grade assessment, helping to manage blasting, excavation, and hauling activities, optimising the site blend provided to the concentrator, and preventing grade dilution or the erroneous transport of ore to the waste dump.

The Niton XL3t 600 Soil Analyser

For contaminated land remediation, a Niton XL3t 600 Series Soil Analyser can pay for itself on one large project alone. The instrument can be used to guide earth-moving equipment to soil contamination hotspots, creating a reduction in overall soil volumes being moved and proportional cost savings.

The Niton XL3t 600 Series Soil Analyser also finds application in the field of archaeometry, and has been successfully employed at high-profile archaeological sites to perform both in-situ soil analysis, taking measurements directly from the area under examination, and ex-situ soil analysis, analysing prepared soil samples via the supplied sample test-stand and soil sample preparation kit.

The Niton XL3t 700 for RoHS

The Niton XL3t 700 Series provides fast, effective and nondestructive testing for compliance with Regulation of Hazardous Substances guidelines. It can also be used by manufacturers, importers, distributors, brand owners and retailers to provide a solution to the problem of screening toys, consumer goods and packaging for toxic metals.

Compliance testing against the demands set forth in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), Proposition 65, the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS), and other regulations is faster than ever before with this specially calibrated instrument. Screening of incoming materials, stocks and outgoing finished goods can all be accomplished with ease. Detection limits for all banned substances are improved – especially for cadmium – with the instrument’s 50 kV x-ray tube sample excitation system.

The Niton XL3t 800 for PMI & Alloy Analysis

The Niton XL3t 800 Series provides fast, accurate and detailed analysis in demanding situations where confidence in the results is critical. It is ideally suited to a variety of industrial PMI applications such as the testing of fillet welds and small components. The instrument was specifically designed to accommodate the in-service testing of components at temperatures in excess of 800°F (430°C). It is therefore the ideal choice for the petroleum, oil and chemical industries.

In addition to heavy industry, the Niton XL3t 800 also finds application in the scrap and precious metals sectors, where its accuracy and ease of use provide the recycler with the information necessary to make quick, confident decisions on material purchases, and the speed of throughput necessary to quickly sort large volumes of materials and take advantage of sales opportunities.
