X-MET8000: Portable XRF analysis
A lightweight and rugged handheld XRF analyzer for rapid, on-the-spot plating thickness measurement, with up to 12 hours of battery life.
Download brochure- Benchtop XRF allows small spot analysis to reach tight areas like the head or between threads of screws, bolts and other fasteners
- Handheld XRF provides the accuracy and precision of a benchtop XRF in a portable device to measure large parts like structural steel and lamp posts
- Verify metal substrate chemistry and grade before plating
- Measure plating bath chemistry to determine composition of main elements in bath so you can make adjustments as needed.

Our global experts are on hand to help your business find the XRF analyzer for your galvanizing thickness measurement needs.
Eddy current and magnetic induction digital dry film thickness (DFT) gauges quickly measure zinc (Zn) thickness on galvanized parts, as well as other coatings such as paint. Choose from handheld gauges, with the thickness measurement probe built into the gauge body or tethered by a cable, or a benchtop unit that allows you to attach multiple probes for handling several tasks.
