Technical Specifications Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analyzer

DLA Product Test Center, Mechanical Product Test Center

Objective:

To obtain a Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analyzer to continue and expand the

Product Test Center’s (PTC) testing capabilities for its customers. This portable instrument will enable the PTC to make determinations on composition of metal alloys and coatings, and for measuring thickness of coatings. The XRF Analyzer shall be provided as an off-the-shelf product without the need for additional post-installation research, development, and validation. The Analyzer shall have all hardware, accessories, and software for performing qualitive and quantitative elemental analysis across much of the periodic table.

The DLA Product Test Center Mechanical Lab has listed the requirements for the procurement of a Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence Analyzer. The following specifications are a list of minimum functions and features required by the DLA Product Test Center.
