Inspecting the metals makeup of incoming and outgoing components is a critical task for countless companies. It’s a quality control necessity in metal producing, processing, recycling, service contracting, and more. Metal alloys must be accurately tested, identified, and verified based on defined chemical composition. Mistakes matter. An alloy mix-up at the shipping dock or on the factory floor can cause an inconvenient batch rework — or a los contract. Many firms use a handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer for these jobs. However, this can cause problems. For instance, a handheld XRF can’t determine precise levels of carbon content: the only way to distinguish among many low-alloy steels. It also has trouble handling elements like phosphorus or sulfur at critical levels.

When handhelds aren’t enough, the amazing new SPECTROPORT applies more advanced OES technology — in a unit as easy to use as a handheld analyzer. Sparking a revolution in mobile metals analysis, SPECTROPORT delivers many advantages of SPECTRO’s mobile OES flagship, SPECTROTEST, in a smaller, lighter package. It is as fast as a handheld XRF, with many analyses taking only a few seconds. But unlike handheld XRF, it accurately analyzes elements such as carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, boron, lithium, beryllium, calcium, silicon, magnesium, and aluminum at low and critical levels. And it enables effortless point-and-shoot performance, to minimize operator intervention and decision-making.

EXCELLENT EASE OF USE
Some arc/spark spectrometers can be complicated to operate. Not SPECTROPORT. It adds the convenience and simplicity of the best handheld analyzers to the accuracy and wide analytical range of SPECTRO’s renowned OES technology. You get fast, ready response; flexible portability; intuitive ease of use; and minimal standardization efforts.
MAXIMUM MOBILITY
SPECTROPORT offers flexible options to maximize mobility, including large and small transport trolleys plus portable batteries. For testing in difficult-to-reach places — such as analysis of installed or small parts, thin wires, curved surfaces, or concealed welding seams, or for infrastructure control tasks — you can use SPECTROPORT cordlessly, with a rechargeable battery pack.
COST-EFFECTIVENESS AND CONFIDENCE
Despite its power and convenience, SPECTROPORT is surprisingly affordable — offering a purchase price comparable to some
handheld XRFs. Plus a continued low cost of ownership. And you can have confidence that you’ll never miss a metal. SPECTROPORT is designed with all the recognized reliability that’s made SPECTRO the leader in metals analysis, with more than 40,000 spectrometers worldwide.
