C&N have set a new PMI equipment from Chongqing Mass

C&N Industrial Group has recently introduced the new-generation Explorer XRF portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer series from Chongqing Mass, significantly enhancing its capabilities in material analysis and quality inspection. This equipment upgrade is especially for critical alloy materials in demanding industries, marking another important step forward for C&N in precision testing and product quality assurance.

The instrument employs Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) technology, enabling fast, non-destructive detection of elements from magnesium to uranium. It is widely applicable for metal material reliability identification, rapid alloy grade identification, raw material incoming inspection, process control, and finished product testing.

Key Applications

• Reliability identification of metal materials and rapid alloy grade identification
• On-site heavy metal testing in soil
• In-situ multi-element analysis of geological ores
• Full coverage of market needs from raw material testing and process control to on-site online elemental composition analysis in finished products

Core Technical Advantages

The Explorer 5000 handheld XRF spectrometer incorporates three core technologies: a miniature low-power end-window integrated X-ray tube, a large-area beryllium-window silicon drift detector (SDD), and a miniature multi-channel digital signal processor. These innovations dramatically reduce testing time, improve detection accuracy, and minimize errors, delivering performance comparable to benchtop analyzers in a portable format.

Additional standout features include:

• Compact size and lightweight for easy portability
• On-site, in-situ analysis anytime and anywhere
• Non-destructive testing with 1-2 second rapid analysis; extended time for precision benchtop-style measurement
• Direct surface measurement without sample preparation; suitable for alloys, electronic products, geological minerals, soil, rock, residues, small solid particles, and liquid sediments
• Built-in high-definition camera for precise test point visualization
• Multiple measurement modes with unlimited custom additions and automatic matching; built-in intensity correction for irregular geometries and uneven structures/densities
• Innovative EC+FP software integration for broader applications, higher sensitivity, shorter test times, and easier operation
• 12 collimator and filter combinations
• Embedded Android system with high-resolution LCD touchscreen, digital multi-channel technology, and SPI data transmission
• Triple safety protection (auto-sensing, blank testing, 2-second X-ray tube auto-shutdown); radiation levels far below international safety standards, with protective hood
• Dual 9000mAh lithium batteries for up to 8 hours of continuous operation; wide-voltage AC or vehicle charging support
• Waterproof, dustproof, and operational in high-temperature/high-humidity environments; military-grade protective case

Notes on Phosphorus (P) and Sulfur (S) Detection

While phosphorus and sulfur provide certain niche benefits in metals (such as improved machinability), their levels must be strictly controlled to prevent brittleness or corrosion risks. For precise low-level detection of P and S required by stringent standards like NACE MR0175/ISO 15156, Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES) remains the unequivocally recommended technique. The portable XRF excels as an efficient on-site screening tool for primary alloying elements (e.g., Cr, Ni, Mo).

With this equipment upgrade, C&N further strengthens quality control for high-standard pipe fittings, flanges, and other products, delivering more reliable and efficient solutions to customers in the oil & gas, petrochemical, and related industries. C&N remains committed to investing in advanced technology to drive quality excellence and create greater value for the future.
