From Houston, Texas during the ASNT 2023 annual conferenceRichard Blaser from Inspenet had the pleasure of interviewing Rick Ramsey, Manufacturer’s Representative Bruker Nano Analytics, a leader in advanced X-ray fluorescence solutions.
Bruker Nano Analytics Portable Innovation
“Bruker Nano Analytics has developed a handheld X-ray fluorescence device capable of revealing the precise chemical composition of alloys,” Rick explained. This technology ensures that everything is in compliance with specifications, being a non-destructive solution using X-rays. “The equipment stands out for its ease of use and accuracy, very precise and repeatable” Rick emphasized.
Beyond Metals
The most amazing thing about the device is not only its ability to analyze metals. “Today it’s not just metals. We can analyze oil, fertilizer, plant matter, soil, art and precious metals. ” Rick shared, expanding perspective on the device’s potential applications.
A real-time demonstration of the device revealed its ability to quickly determine the chemical composition of an alloy, showing percentages of iron, chromium and molybdenum, for example.
Data in the Palm of Your Hand
One of the most notable aspects of this device’s design is its focus on data collection and storage. With multiple USB slots, the device automatically stores all information on a USB stick, making it easy to analyze later. “We provide you with all your chemical compositions. If you’re taking 200 readings a day, you need that data ” Rick noted.
