Press Powder TechniqueSamples are prepared as pressed powders to improve producibility. Tools and Accessories required: Aluminum Caps Binding/Grinding Additives Die Sets Grinder/Mixer Mill Filling Tool for Boric Acid Pellet Film Press*Ask about our application note “Press Powder Technique”

Hydraulic Presses for XRFIdeal for briquetting samples for XRF, XRD and Halide disks for Infrared analysis.Product Specifications:Max Pressure 15 / 25 tons, electrical 25 tons Pressure display 0 - 20 t / 0 - 30 t Piston 108 mm Piston Stroke, max 25 mm Bolster Screw diameter 30 mm Bolster Screw Travel, max 90 mm Minimum Distance Between Pressing Faces 35 mm Maximum Distance Between Pressing Faces 125 mm Area size D310 x W290 mm Weight 50.5 kg, electrical 60 kg ElectricManual

Die SetsPremier Stainless Steel Die Sets are complete sets which include: Detachable main bodyIntegrated valve portA base "O" ring and plungerTwo polished Stainless Steel Pellets Applications at a Glance:Ideal for briquetting samples for XRF and XRD analysis Ideal for briquetting Halide disks for infrared analysis Fits into most commonly used presses. High Quality Stainless Steel Material allowing Load Limits of Up to 50 tons. Pellets offered in Stainless Steel and Tungsten Carbide

Filling Tool/Backing MethodThe backing technique is commonly utilized for low quantity samplesTool Highlights: Ensures the sample is “centered” when poured into the die. A piston presses before filling the cellulose or boric acid on top. Produces Picture Perfect Pellets Fast Easy Clean up

Aluminum CapsAluminum Caps are utilized to stabilize samples from both sides.Features at a Glance: Finest Quality Thin Wall Material ensures minimal back pressure Resistance to accidental damage Easy to handle, label and store Straight-Wall DesignTaper Design

Pellet FilmXRD and XRF Press Pellet Advantages:Avoids sample sticking of the die set Eliminates Chromium contamination from the die Eliminates sample dusting in Instrument Clean up is fast & easyHot Pressing Advantages:The use of PelletFilm allows pressing polymers using a standard die set and press. It is not necessary to buy a hot plate Clean up is fast & easy

Liquid PreparationXRF Sample Cups:Manufactured In-HouseAbility to fit many Spectrometers Contaminant - free polyethyleneDisposableStandard universal sizes of:32, 35, 40, & 45mm.

SOP 3000 SeriesTo prepare your sample cup for analysis, you will require an Inner Ring (1) an Outer Ring (2) and a Cap4. be certain that there are no folds or creases in the Film. It should look perfect. Now fill your cup with a liquid or solid sample. The Inner Ring contains a "Fill Line" (SC-3345: 5.5ml or 11ml; SC-3340: 9.3ml).2. Place Ring (1) with the larger end downward onto the table. Then, place the film on top....And now use the PREMIER Tool to push the Ring all the way down. The hole in the middle of the Tool allows air to escape, preventing sagging of the film.5. Finally, close your sample cup with the snap on cap. There is a "Labeling Area" for you to write your sample description right on the cap.3. Place the Outer Ring (2) on top of the Inner (1) Ring...
