Nitrogen analysis now available on the spot with detachable probe

Oxford Instruments’ new smarter probe for the PMI-MASTER PRO now allows the analysis of Nitrogen directly on the spot.

The UVTouch detachable probe, launched last year, is for use with the well-proven PMI-MASTER PRO, Oxford Instruments’ high performance analyser for positive material identification, especially designed for the metals inspection industry, quality control systems and safety procedures. It enables the user to have all analysis information available on the probe and without any compromise in analytical precision or elements to be determined. Moreover, the control of the main PMI-MASTER PRO unit is possible by using the probe’s advanced user interface. An embedded PC on the UVTouch probe runs a user-friendly interface with large icons and a virtual keyboard. This allows fast results even on remote, difficult and hard to reach areas in industrial yards due to the long connection cable. The smart nose design gives access to narrow spraces and samples with difficult surfaces and shapes.

The PMI-MASTER PRO in combination with the UVTouch probe offers both, high accuracy and stability of analysis in varying environments – especially for low C, P, S, Sn, As and B concentration in steel. The detection of N (Nitrogen) is essential for the positive material identification of Duplex and super-Duplex steel grades. These alloys are characterised by a certain amount of Nitrogen (0.1 – 0.8%) to improve strength and corrosion resistance. Duplex steel, one of the leading prospective materials, is vastly used in chemical and petrochemical plants and can now be supervised by the PMI-MASTER PRO in combination with the UVTouch.

About Oxford Instruments Industrial Analysis
Oxford Instruments Industrial Analysis offers a range of Optical Emission Spec¬troscopy (OES), analytical X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) instruments essential for quality control in a diverse range of industry. For materials analysis, thickness measurement, product optimisation and research applications, the Industrial Analysis products incorporate the latest field proven technology coupled with over 30 years of experience in designing, producing and supporting world class instruments.

The expanded range of ARC/Spark mobile OES and X-MET handheld XRF analysers are specifically designed for pos¬itive material identification, alloy analysis and screening. The OES systems comprise the FOUNDRY-MASTER range, PMI-MASTER PRO and TEST-MASTER PRO. Benchtop XRF spectrometers, X-Supreme and Lab-X, span the price/performance range for routine chemical analysis. From sulphur in petroleum products to the analysis of lime-stone, users may select the spectrometer to match their application. The X-Strata systems and thickness gauges pro-vide world-class performance for coating thickness measurement.

The NMR portfolio includes the MQC benchtop analysers which have broad applications across the agriculture, foods, consumer products, textiles and polymer industries. The GeoSpec range of NMR Core Analysers is designed specifi¬cally for studies of core samples from oilfield reservoirs with installations in almost every major oil producer and SCAL laboratory world-wide. With leading products and a global sales and service network, Oxford Instruments Industrial Analysis continues to explore innovative ways to deliver instrument solutions for faster and easier measurements.
