X-ray Associates is part of the Spectrolab group based in England

Our NDT and XRD product range includes

X-ray diffraction systems
Small angle X-ray scattering systems   SWAXS
X-ray sub systems
X-ray residual stress analysers

Our X-ray diffraction  product range  includes  several  innovative  instruments  employing “theta  -  theta  “ technology
We also distribute Moxtek  Inc products which include  X-ray windows, X-ray tubes, power supplies , Si detectors and JFETS

Our “TX “ series  of X-ray diffraction systems employ theta – theta geometry ( TTG ) ensuring that samples remain stationary and horizontal.  This geometry offers significant advantages compared to the 2 theta geometry used by many other manufacturers especially with regard to using sample handling attachments as used in kinetics, thin film etc.  TTG also allows significantly  larger samples to be analysed in addition to micro samples.

Our XRD systems can be used for all applications including thin film, texture, stress, diffraction, reflexion and transmission and  are configured for both parallel beam and Bragg Brentano
.
Other features include a range of high speed detectors including single photon counting  solid state strip detectors, a range of PSD’s plus high count rate scintillation or Si detectors

The TX-2 and TX-5 XRD products

TX-2 is a high performance and inexpensive desk top  instrument with a very large sample area. It is perfect for any routine application including QA, mineralogy, metallurgy and routine phase analysis

TX-5 is a larger research oriented instrument used for diffraction, thin film, texture, stress etc

Residual Stress Analysis

In addition to XRD systems we also specialise in X-ray Residual Stress Analysis and for this technique we offer 3 systems . The first is a go anywhere portable high speed analyser that can be used on any out of door structure including pipe lines, auto or aerospace, bridges etc. The second is a high end console based instrument for QA production control and product certification. The third system is a remotely operated stress analyser interfaced to a multi axis robot for automated analysis. Our instruments are based on high speed strip detectors although other detectors are also offered for specific applications

We provide after sales service support and training around the world

We offer a metallurgical analysis service for finished products requiring stress or XRD certification
