Bruker AXS announced
that it will launch its new G4 PHOENIX(TM) combustion analysis system with an
infrared furnace for the determination of diffusible hydrogen next week at the
FABTECH International + AWS Welding Show 2008 in Las Vegas at booth 13302.
Bruker AXS Executive Vice President Bernard Kolodziej stated: “Welding
material producers, tube plants and steel mills all require the advanced hydrogen
analysis capabilities of our new G4 PHOENIX. We are pleased to be able to add
this cutting-edge instrument to our extensive range of high performance metals
analyzers, including our spark-OES, combustion analysis, and X-ray Fluorescence
(XRF) spectrometers.
Bruker AXS Vice President Georg Schick added: “Our G4 PHOENIX determines
the diffusible hydrogen in a wide range of material and matrices. Its quick
heating infrared (IR) furnace with a quartz tube diameter of 30mm allows advanced
analysis of even large samples up to 220 grams without problems, along with
the detailed analysis of industry-standard welding samples. A gas calibration
unit with 10 different volumes guarantees simple and reliable calibration. The
G4 PHOENIX is highly sensitive and the stable thermal conductivity detector
is capable of reading even the smallest hydrogen contents. Our G4 PHOENIX analysis
software is easy to use and clearly structured. Typical analysis times of welding
samples are just an astonishing 20-40 minutes. Importantly, the analysis and
report format of the G4 PHOENIX complies with both the AWS A4.3 and ISO 3690
norms.”
At FABTECH, Bruker will also demonstrate its new high performance TRACERturboSD
handheld XRF analyzer, the world’s first handheld alloy analyzer incorporating
a Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) for faster analysis, better light element performance
and higher specificity, resulting in overall increased analytical confidence
and speed.
