NITON XL5 NOW AVAILABLE WITH
A COATINGS MODE FOR SUPERIOR
POSITIVE MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION
e are pleased to announce
that as of April 2017, the
world’s smallest and most
powerful XRF analyser, The
Thermo Scientific Niton
XL5, is now available with an additional
coatings mode for truly superior positive
material identification (PMI).

Since 2000, Niton UK has established
itself as an expert and leader in the UK for
handheld material analysis solutions. As
a family run business we have delivered
and installed over 2500 analysers in a wide
variety of applications and companies
ranging from the small scrap dealer to
world class, blue chip manufacturing
companies and government bodies tasked
with policing strict adherence to material
regulations.
The Niton XL5 represents the latest
addition to the industry leading
Thermo Scientific Niton range and
is able to identify all grades of alloys
with unparalleled speed, accuracy and
precision. Weighing only 2.8 pounds with
a compact, ergonomic design, the XL5 is
intended to reduce operator fatigue and
enable users to easily access hard-to-reach
spots and crevices.
Engineered to work just as hard as
you do, a dynamic current adjustment
ensures optimum sensitivity for each
measurement. By optimizing the space
between the x-ray detector and sample,
the Niton XL5 guarantees the lowest limits
of detection (LODs) - especially for light
elements - ensuring that you receive lab
quality results every time.
The new coatings mode allows users to
measure the thickness or weight of up
to four coating layers, including alloys,
compounds and pure metals. Additionally,
users of the analyser can define substrate
layers consisting of alloys, pure metals,
plastics and wood. This doubles the
number of coating layers that could be
measured by previous models. The Niton
XL5 analyser is the only handheld XRF
analyser on the market that is capable
of penetrating up to four layers using a
standardless Fundamental-Parameter (FP)
calibration and eliminating the need to
calibrate using samples.
“These new capabilities are intended to
help our customers address and overcome
the most complex challenges when
assessing the chemical composition of
metals,” said Michael Sibbald, Director of
Niton UK.
From the small scrap dealer to
manufacturers of critical parts to the
oil & gas sector, from sorting scrap for
gaining maximum value through to non-
destructive confirmation of the correct
material composition of a turbine blade
on assembled jet engine – Niton UK has a
handheld solution for all applications.
