X-MET8000 Optimum

Positive Material Identification (PMI) with the X-MET8000 Handheld XRF Analyzer

Positive Material Identification (PMI) is essential for ensuring plant safety, compliance, and asset reliability. PMI programs allow operators, engineers, and maintenance teams to verify the alloy grade and chemical composition of critical process components both before installation and during service life. This proactive approach helps prevent costly downtime, equipment damage, and catastrophic failures.

With handheld X-ray fluorescence (HHXRF) technology, such as the X-MET8000 analyzer, you can quickly and accurately determine alloy grades and chemistry in seconds, directly on-site—eliminating the need to rely solely on supplier certificates.

Why choose the X-MET8000 HHXRF for PMI testing?

  • High-performance metals analysis – Fast, reliable identification ensures materials meet exact specifications.

  • Extensive, customizable alloy grade library – Delivers unmatched accuracy in alloy identification.

  • Rugged and cost-efficient design – Built to withstand harsh environments while minimizing ownership costs.

  • User-friendly interface – Requires minimal training, making it easy for operators at all levels.

  • Optimized ergonomics – Compact design for comfortable, practical use, including hard-to-reach areas such as bends and corners.

  • Flexible data management – Store results directly on the analyzer, export customized reports via USB, or share instantly through our app and cloud service.

Advanced features for ultimate PMI performance

  • Superior accuracy and traceability – Combines close-coupled geometry with both fundamental parameters (standardless calibrations) and empirical calibrations, delivering precision for light elements (Mg to Cl) and trace/tramp elements.

  • Optional window shield – Protects against sharp or uneven surfaces, reducing repair costs and downtime.

  • Optional camera and small-spot analysis – Accurately measure small features (down to 3 mm), such as welds, with ease.

  • Unique hot-sample analysis – With the optional HEROâ„¢ heat-resistant window, test alloys at temperatures up to 400°C / 752°F, including Mg to S, without special calibrations, spacers, or adjustments.

Wide application versatility

The X-MET8000 handheld XRF is not only ideal for Positive Material Identification (PMI) in metals but also supports a wide range of industries and applications, including:

  • Alloy verification

  • Weld testing

  • Regulatory compliance screening (RoHS, ELV, CPSIA, etc.)

  • Geochemical and mineral analysis

  • Wood and plastics inspection
