Sulfur and Metal Analyzer SPECTROSCAN MSW

The ASE-2 energy dispersive sulfur analyzer is designed to measure the mass fraction of sulfur in unleaded gasoline, diesel fuel, crude oil, kerosene, oil residues, lubricating oil bases, hydraulic oils, jet fuels and other distillate oil products. X-ray radiation from a low-power X-ray tube, converted by a primary radiation filter, excites fluorescence emission from the atoms of the sample being analyzed. The fluxes (primary X-rays scattered on the sample and secondary fluorescence) of radiation fall on a gas proportional counter, whereby the fluorescence radiation of sulfur atoms (SKa) is separated from the radiation with other energies by means of selective filters. The intensity of the fluorescence emission of sulfur atoms registered by the gas proportional counter is proportional to the mass fraction of sulfur in the analyzed sample.

The spectrometer is designed to determine the contents of elements in the range from Ca to U in substances in solid, powdery, dissolved states, as well as deposited on the surface or deposited on filters. The principle of operation of the spectrometer is based on irradiation of the sample with primary radiation from an X-ray tube, measurement of the intensity of secondary fluorescent radiation from the sample at wavelengths corresponding to the elements being determined, and subsequent calculation of the mass fraction of these elements according to a pre-constructed calibration characteristic, which is the dependence of the content of the element being determined on the measured intensity. Secondary fluorescent radiation is decomposed into a spectrum using a crystal analyzer. Due to this, the spectrometer has a high resolution, and therefore the ability to accurately analyze complex multicomponent substances.

Compatibility with automation systems for sampling, sample delivery, data handling and presentation, data archiving. Link to factory process control system High expressiveness, high analytical precision, low detection limits, reproducibility High reliability. The principle of operation is based on the excited fluorescence produced by the atoms of the material under analysis through the radiation of an X-ray tube. The fluorescence radiation of a particular chemical element is picked up by the crystal analyzer, and then the radiation at a specific wavelength is detected by an X-ray tube detector. The intensity of the recorded fluorescence radiation of a certain wavelength is directly proportional to the mass fraction of the chemical element in the substance under study.
