Description
Rent the Niton XL2 800 handheld XRF analyzer for industrial alloy identification, positive material identification (PMI), scrap metal sorting, gold purity testing, and precious metals analysis.
The Niton XL2 800 XRF rental combines General Metals and Precious Metals analysis capabilities in one versatile, portable X-ray fluorescence analyzer. Whether you're verifying stainless steel and nickel alloys, sorting valuable scrap metals, testing gold jewelry, or evaluating platinum and palladium, this instrument provides fast, nondestructive elemental analysis without the expense of purchasing equipment.
Unlike the Niton XL2 100G and 100P models, this XL2 800 features an integrated sample camera, allowing operators to visually confirm the measurement location. This is particularly useful for small jewelry pieces, welds, machined components, and irregularly shaped samples.
Ideal for short-term projects, temporary equipment needs, inventory verification, precious metal purchasing, and industrial quality control.
General Metals Mode – Industrial Alloy Identification & PMI
The Niton XL2 800 General Metals Mode is designed for fast elemental analysis and alloy identification across a wide range of ferrous and nonferrous metals. This portable XRF alloy analyzer rental helps scrap recyclers, manufacturers, fabricators, and inspection professionals verify material composition directly in the field or on the shop floor.
From stainless steel and nickel-based superalloys to brass, bronze, titanium, and specialty metals, the XL2 800 provides quantitative elemental results and alloy grade identification to support efficient material sorting and quality control.
General Metals Rental Applications
- Scrap Metal Recycling: Sort stainless steel, nickel alloys, copper alloys, and high-value industrial scrap.
- Positive Material Identification (PMI): Verify piping, valves, flanges, fittings, fasteners, and other industrial components.
- Manufacturing Quality Control: Confirm incoming raw materials, finished components, and supplier specifications.
- Metal Fabrication & Machine Shops: Identify unknown alloys and prevent material mix-ups.
- Industrial Inspection: Support maintenance, repair, material traceability, and alloy verification.
- Specialty Metals: Identify titanium, cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten, and other valuable alloying elements.
General Metals Mode – Elemental Range (25 Elements):
Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Nb, Zr, Mo, Pd, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Ta, Hf, Re, W, Au, Pb, Bi
Precious Metals Mode – Gold Tester & Jewelry Analysis
The Niton XL2 800 Precious Metals Mode provides professional XRF gold testing and precious metal analysis for jewelry stores, pawn shops, gold buyers, precious metal dealers, and refining operations.
This handheld XRF gold tester rental allows operators to measure gold purity, estimate karat content, and determine the elemental composition of precious metal alloys without destructive testing. The instrument supports analysis of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and additional precious and alloying elements.
The integrated sample camera is particularly valuable when positioning measurements on rings, necklaces, coins, and other small precious metal items.
Precious Metals Rental Applications
- Gold Purity Testing: Measure gold concentration and estimate karat purity in jewelry and precious metal alloys.
- Jewelry Stores & Pawn Shops: Evaluate gold, silver, platinum, and palladium items before purchasing.
- Precious Metal Buyers: Screen jewelry, coins, bullion, and scrap materials.
- Refining & Recycling: Evaluate precious metal-bearing alloys for sorting and processing.
- Platinum Group Metals: Analyze platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and iridium in suitable alloy samples.
- Jewelry Manufacturing: Verify precious metal alloy composition and material consistency.
Precious Metals Mode – Elemental Range (22 Elements):
Sn, In, Cd, Ag, Pd, Rh, Ru, Pb, Au, Pt, Ir, W, Ge, Ga, Zn, Cu, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Cr, Ti
XRF measures near-surface elemental composition. Plating, coatings, and nonhomogeneous materials may influence results, so additional testing may be appropriate when verifying bulk precious metal content.
Integrated Sample Camera – Precision Measurement Positioning
One of the primary advantages of renting the Niton XL2 800 is its built-in sample camera.
Unlike the XL2 100G and 100P, the XL2 800 allows operators to visually inspect the sample and confirm the measurement location.
This feature is especially useful for:
- Small jewelry pieces and precious metal samples.
- Welds, fittings, and narrow inspection areas.
- Small machined components and fasteners.
- Irregularly shaped scrap metals.
- Samples with multiple materials or surface features.
The camera provides additional confidence in measurement positioning and helps operators target the intended testing area.
