New stand alone flow monitoring system
The FMSA Flow Monitoring Stand Alone System provides continuous recording of liquid flow rate and total flow of groundwater, wastewater, leachate and process liquids
Purpose-built for the most demanding quality control applications: scrap metal recycling, analysis of metals for PMI, screening for lead in toys and consumer products for RoHS compliance testing.
The X-MET5000 also serves the needs of the mining community for ore exploration, as well as the measurement of heavy metals in soils for environmental monitoring.
The X-MET5000 major strength is the Light Element Treatment (LET) mode, enabling fast and accurate analysis of heavy elements, even when the sample contains light elements like Aluminium and Silicon.
This is not possible when using Fundamental Parameters (FP) on an analyser that does not detect the light elements.
This rugged and reliable tool is IP54 (NEMA3) approved for superior dust and splash protection.
The X-MET5000 is perfect for the harshest environments.
The battery operating time of one working day enables extended productivity.
The powerful user programmable software delivers highly accurate results for reliable Go/No-Go decisions.
The X-MET5000 will identify material type and automatically choose the best analysis method.
An optional bench-top stand enables hands-free operation for multi-tasking without the loss in confidence in measurement results.
