Portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) coating thickness gauge Thermo Fisher Scientific

Years of development and attention to customer needs have made Thermo Scientific Niton alloy analyzers the first choice in XRF technology, bringing lab-quality elemental analysis wherever it is needed in a field-hardened package. Now, in addition to superior positive grade identification and composition analysis of alloy/metal coatings and substrates, the Niton® XL3t offers the benefit of our coating thickness/coating weight measurement technology - providing an "out-of-the-box" nondestructive solution for gauging the effectiveness of coating and plating systems.

Fast and easy-to-use, the Niton XL3t 800 not only performs at line and plating bath solution analysis, but provides more accurate measurements than non-XRF technologies such as eddy current, magnetic induction, and Beta backscatter. You get precise, nondestructive multilayer coating thickness results in seconds. Testing at the plating line both increases productivity and improves process efficiency - no more over-coating or under-coating. What's more, the Niton XL3t is your answer to measuring large or irregularly shaped samples, as well as small-diameter wiring or tubing. Cutting samples for benchtop analysis are a thing of the past.

Typical applications are:
-Galvanized zinc over steel
-Zinc or zinc alloy over steel
-Hard chrome over steel
-Electroless nickel over steel
-Chrome/nickel/copper over steel, Zamak™ or plastic
-DACROMET™ coating over steel
