When this occurs, the operator should choose an applicable ‘FP’ method. These work with a wider
range of concentrations and sample types, and is the second choice for the operator.
Applications Make Analysis Easy
Applications make use of both empirical and fundamental parameter calibrations. Use the numbers
in the illustrations to follow how the Alloy+ application analyzes first stainless steel and then gold. It
uses an empirical calibration for stainless steel, and a fundamental parameter calibration for gold. All
steps happen automatically, and can make life very easy for an operator!
Alloy+ application, Empirical For Stainless Steel
These steps show how the Alloy+ application uses an empirical calibration to analyze a stainless steel
sample, and return the grade.
1.
The X-MET8000 series acquires a spectrum to identify the sample.
2.
It compares the identification spectrum with all the empirical calibrations to obtain a match.
3.
It finds a match with the stainless steel empirical calibration, shown in green.
4.
It uses the stainless steel calibration to analyze the sample and then display the results.
5.
It compares the results with the grade library and finds SS316 is the best match.
