Description
This F-5 grade steel reference material is a 4-6% chromium-molybdenum alloy steel used as a standard for calibrating and verifying your spectrometer (handheld XRF, benchtop XRF, OES). Certified values are based on the results of an interlaboratory testing program, giving you traceable, defensible composition data for calibration checks, instrument verification, and quality control.
For field verification and PMI work, many customers pair this material with NEW or PRE-OWNED handheld XRF analyzers for rapid, on-site analysis.
