Elemental Analysis Of Metals Using The ARC-MET8000 Optical Emission Analyser From Oxford Instruments

Optical Emission analyser designed to identify all the key elements in metals - especially where highest accuracy and/or the analysis of light elements like C, Al, S, P, Mg, Si is needed and when sorting low alloys and aluminum. Ideal, for example, for separation of 316 H (>0.04% C) and 316 L (<0.03% C).


Production Cycle Applications

Use one unit throughout the whole production cycle including:

· Classification of raw material (recycling metal)

· QC of semimanufactured products

· QC of final product
Carbon Analysis Of Steels

Recognising that carbon analysis in steels is of primary concern in many material verification functions, and e.g. in welding work, ARC-MET8000 has the unique capability of measuring carbon in both air and argon modes.
ARC-MET8000 Features

ARC-MET8000 offers:

· Accurate results using Air or Argon measurements

· Fast grade identification and assay

· Only one probe with an integrated display

· Low level carbon analysis using Air burn in a few seconds

· Battery operation, long cable between main unit and probe, and convenient mobility

· Unique to ARC-MET8000: the probe is the heart of the system
