Applications
Oil & Gas
Steel pipes used in the oil and gas industry face serious mechanical, thermal, and chemical stresses, with pressure and temperature being major factors. Key properties of this steel - such as heat resistance, weldability, and corrosion resistance - depend on its carbon content. For example, increasing the carbon in steel boosts hardness but lowers weldability.
The Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer empowers operators to perform positive material identification (PMI) to analyze steel piping material with unparalleled precision, accuracy, and speed:
- Quickly verify the composition of piping, valves, and reaction vessels with the lowest LODs available
- Precisely calculate carbon equivalency to accurately determine the weldability of piping materials
- Easily analyze individual component materials during incoming inspection, in-process welding/fabrication, and final inspection check points
Whether working in a pipeline trench, at an offshore oil rig, or scaling the heights of a refinery, the Niton Apollo is your premier tool for enhanced material analysis of carbon content in steel.
Metal Fabrication
Accurate material identification and alloy grade identification is vital to success in the metal fabrication industry. Accurately calculating the carbon equivalency by measuring the contribution of specific elements for steel composition is essential for quality control and quality assurance (QA/QC) as well as product safety.
The Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer allows operators to ensure that the correct grade of stainless steel is used in the right place at the right time:
- Quickly and accurately identify alloy composition and grade for a variety of metal chemistries
- Verify Material Test Reports (MTRs) with confidence
- Maximize QA/QC and other risk-management procedures
Enjoy superior accuracy, speed, and reliability with the Niton Apollo, an indispensable tool for stainless steel material analysis and verification.
Scrap Metal Recycling
With such a wide variety of metals and alloys entering scrap yards, identifying their exact chemical composition can be challenging. Scrap with unknown origins or misidentified compositions can contain impurities or hazardous elements, making fast, accurate scrap sorting and identification essential for safety, workflow efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
The Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer provides superior chemical analysis and carbon analysis to enhance the productivity and profitability of any scrap metal business:
- Enhance stainless-steel sorting by easily identifying and separating SS-316 from SS-316L
- Quickly and accurately detect tramp/trace elements in scrap to protect the supply chain and meet regulatory standards
- Maximize low alloy steel sorting with fast, reliable carbon content analysis
Take the guesswork out of your scrap metal operations with the Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ LIBS Handheld Analyzer today!
