Niton™ Apollo LIBS Analyzer

Description:

The Niton™ Apollo™ LIBS Analyzer for carbon analysis is designed to provide repeatable and accurate determinations for several elements including carbon in low alloy / carbon and stainless steels, allowing for L grade verification.

The major feature of the Apollo is its portability at 3 kg complete with battery and argon supply. This small compact unit allows easy and safe operation at elevations and in pipeline trenches. The Apollo provides high precision and accuracy on multi-elements as well as CE calculations, despite its compact size and weight.

The laser based Apollo is powered by a Class 3B laser, and includes multi-levels of user safety interlocks ensuring easy and safe operation with minimal training by non-technical users.

Inputs/Outputs:

Data entry is via touch-screen keyboard, with outputs via WiFi, USB, and a tilting, colour, resistive touchscreen display. Also includes dual cameras and Internal GPS for ability to include GPS data with sample measurements.

Applications

Analyze 14 elements including C, Al, Si, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Nb, Mo, and W.
Calculate carbon equivalency for pipe weld-ability
Verification of metal alloys in manufacturing operations
Field inspection for positive material identification (PMI)
Qualification of Material Test Reports (MTR) throughout the supply chain
Quality Assurance (QA) of outgoing production
