SciAps Z-902C+ Premium LIBS Analyzer
Z-902 Carbon: A new industry standard
The key to rock-solid, in-field carbon analysis for alloys.
- Identification of stainless steel and low alloy steels, including carbon analysis down to 70 ppm and instant CE (carbon equivalents) calculations.
- Powerful laser, onboard argon purge, and high-resolution spectrometer are built for carbon.
- Narrow profile for accessing the tightest spaces, aerospace-grade aluminum body for improved performance in high ambient temperatures, and re-designed user interface. The most usable platform on the market, at only 4.35 lbs. (1.97 kg).
Spectrometer range 190 nm – 420 nm. Includes a second, dedicated spectrometer for superior resolution in the 190 – 230 nm range for carbon.
Handheld LIBS analyzers are instruments used to determine the elemental composition of materials. LIBS is an acronym for the analytical technique Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy.
