Spark optical emission spectrometers (OES) excel at providing full chemistry of critical alloy elements at low detection limits that handheld X-ray and LIBS analyzers can’t. These carbon analyzers can measure carbon, phosphorous, sulfur, boron, arsenic and tin in low alloy and stainless steels, and nitrogen in duplex steels. That’s why spark OES is the most trusted and widely used method for creation and verification of MTR’s (mill testing reports) in the world. Our portable spectrometers also meet the world’s most stringent PMI metallurgical alloy chemistry testing requirements including API 5L testing, API RP578, ASME section IX B& PV, ISO 17025 and A2LA standards.

“Since purchasing our first mobile OES analyser ten years ago, we have since purchased another two, with all three currently in daily use.” - Douson Valves
“Only a few [analyzer] models are suited for power plant requirements and the PMI-MASTER Smart suits it best due to its light weight. The stability, repeatability and portability is superior to the competition and this is why we have three PMI-MASTER Smarts.” - The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand
“Since the purchase of the PMI-MASTER Smart, we’ve been able to accept material testing assignments at refineries, chemical plants and onboard vessels where we need to provide accurate analysis on-site.” - Professional Testing Services
