Fast, On-Site Heavy Metal and Alloy Screening with the NITON XL3t
What is XRF Testing?
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials. At Project X Corrosion Engineering, we use the Thermo Scientific NITON XL3t—an advanced handheld analyzer capable of delivering lab-quality results in seconds.
Applications of Our XRF Services
- Soil testing for RCRA and CAM 17 heavy metals (EPA 6200)
