Ashtead Technology (Singapore) offers one of the smallest, fastest and most versatile Innov-X handheld XRF Alpha Series Positive Material Identification Analyser for quality control, non-destructive testing and metal recycling, without Radioactivity. The Innov-X handheld XRF has become the preferred analyser for petrochemical, production/power and fabrication industries. It is widely accepted for alloy verification in nearly every major refinery, the nuclear power industry, and by leading alloy producers and fabricators.

Applications for this Positive Material Identification analyser include alloy analysis for quality control, non-destructive testing and metal recycling. The Innov-X has flexible and friendly software allowing three modes of operation. Fast ID Mode provides rapid spectral signature matching for grade identification plus alloy chemistry. Analytical Mode provides a full chemistry analysis using the method of fundamental parameters, plus grade matching to grade table specifications. Pass/Fail Mode is a rapid sorting mode. The operator selects a standard from a fingerprint library for Pass/Fail comparison. The decision criteria can be spectral signature matching, or chemistry, or chemistry ranges for one or more elements.

The Innov-X analyser is also used for in-situ testing of metals in soil, bagged or prepared soil samples. It can be equipped with the environmental metals in soils module to identify and quantify Titanium, Barium, Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Zinc, Mercury, Arsenic, Selenium, Lead, etc,
