Olympus Delta Element precious metal and alloy XRF analyser

Non-destructive testing (NDT) of manufactured materials by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a crucial tool in many industries. The latest handheld XRF analyser from Olympus, the Delta Element, is suitable for scrap metal sorting, positive material identification (PMI), alloy QA/QC and precious metals analysis.

The handheld XRF analyser was developed for users who require the speed and ease of operation expected from the Delta Premium, yet do not require the extended element range necessary only for some specialty applications. With its lightweight, handheld design and durable construction, the product features rubber overmoulding to protect the analyser and an ergonomic grip for comfortable operation.

With a powerful X-ray tube and Si-PIN detector, the product provides quick identification, screening and sorting of alloy and precious metals. Its combination of features is suitable for most alloy identification and sorting applications. The powerful tool is simple to operate - users can switch between precious metals and alloy mode at the touch of an onscreen icon.

The device displays measured results and grade identification in seconds. With Olympus’ Grade Match Messaging (GMM) feature, the user can assign customised messages to any grade and use real-time or pop-up messages for immediate sorting instructions and improved user efficiency. The Delta Report software then allows for fast and professional reporting and certificate generation of any analysis.
