Hitachi X-Met8000 Handheld XRF Analyzer

The X-MET8000 is a handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyser that delivers ultimate on-site alloy analysis for safety critical applications. It’s light and ergonomic, making it comfortable for daily use. Its nose design is optimised to test material inside bends and corners. And thanks to our unique HERO (heat resistant) window, you can analyse alloys at up to 400ºC accurately. With X-MET8000 you can minimise laboratory testing and reduce costs whilst ensuring safety and compliance.

Hitachi X-MET8000 Smart PMI XRF Analyser can provide results on-site in seconds, reliant on the application. Phenomenal consistency and speed, with no requirement to return for lab evaluation, mean optimum productivity, lower costs, and an all-essential edge over your competitors. Data can be deposited on the analyzer, on a USB flash drive, or through our app and cloud service for immediate sharing.

X-MET8000 Smart tests a vast range of materials – solids, powders, or liquids – the X-MET8000 is ideal for analyzing metals, soils, wood, plastics, glass, oils, and more. The analysis is non-destructive and leaves no test mark.

Features of Hitachi X-MET8000 Smart PMI XRF Analyser:

• X-ray tube: 40kV
• X-ray tube filters: Single
• Detector: Large area SDD
• Max. sample temperature: 100ºC
• IP54 rating
• Protection against detector window damage: Window shield
• Calibrations: Standardless (FP)
• Integrated camera (Optional)

RESULTS YOU CAN TRUST: The X-MET8000 offers the best of both worlds with versatile fundamental parameters (FP) method andempirical calibrations (traceable to certified reference materials) for superior precision and accuracy

ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE: It’s great for the analysis of light elements (Mg to S) for tight control of components and systems. Low limits of detection deliver accurate trace/tramp elements analysis and grade identification.

EASY TO USE: The intuitive, icon-driven user display means that minimal operator training is required. The large screen is easy to read and can be operated whilst  wearing gloves. No tool is needed to change the quick-swap analysis window when broken or dirty

ROBUST: X-MET8000 is IP54 compliant (equivalent to NEMA 3) for super protection against dust and water. It has been tested to the MIL-STD-810G military standard for ruggedness.

OPTIONAL COLLIMATOR: An optional small-spot collimator (3 mm diameter) can be used to isolate specific features (e.g. welds) from surrounding materials and measure them accurately.

BUILT TO LAST: The X-MET8000 has an impact-resistant housing with environmental sealing, and rubber bumpers around the screen, nose and battery to protect against shocks. A large heat sink provides optimum robustness and stability, even in hot environments. The shield (optional for Expert and Optimum models) or robust, thick Kapton® window (Smart model) prevent the detector and X-ray tube damage when testing small components and sharp objects.

POWERFUL DATA MANAGEMENT: Store up to 100,000 results including spectra and sample image (if camera is fitted). Download results and reports directly to a USB stick, to a PC or a network share using WiFi or Bluetooth, using CSV format or tamper-proof PDF for ultimate data integrity. Create your own reports using X-MET report generator (no software installation needed). This can include company logo, sample image, results, spectra and additional sample information. You can share results on-the-go with suppliers, customers or colleagues with our app.

EXTENSIVE, CUSTOMISABLE GRADE LIBRARY: The X-MET8000 includes the most comprehensive grade library: the pre-installed, user selectable AISI, DIN, JIS and GB libraries include a total of over 1600 alloys. Users can modify the existing libraries, add new grades (such as manufacturer or location specific grades), or create their own library (e.g. for specific welding material).
