Rigaku KT-500 Handheld LIBS Analyzer

RIGAKU KT-500

NEW! HANDHELD LIBS METAL ANALYZER WITH HiRES TECHNOLOGY
Analyze both ferrous and non-ferrous metal alloys

Featuring the first carbon-capable high-resolution echelle spectrometer, known as HiRES Technology, the Rigaku KT-500 analyzer represents the next advancement in handheld laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Its carbon capability gives the user the ability to analyze ferrous and non-ferrous alloys on one device, making it the single tool of choice for quality assurance in metal fabrication and positive materials identification (PMI) in mission-critical applications, such as in power generation, oil and gas and aerospace.

EXPANDED LIBS CAPABILITIES

The handheld Rigaku KT-500 LIBS analyzer strengthens the capabilities of LIBS technology and provides the user with better analysis of low alloy steels, stainless steels, nickel and cobalt alloys, and now carbon steels. Because of this, the KT-500 is the solution for addressing all the most common alloy grades used in metal fabrication. Additionally carbon analysis, along with low detection limits for other key elements, makes it ideal for determining carbon equivalence as well as solving many of the key applications required in petro-chemical facilities including sulfidation corrosion and residual elements.
