X-ray Associates is part of the Spectrolab group based in England Our NDT and XRD product range includes X-ray diffraction systems Our X-ray diffraction product range includes several innovative instruments employing “theta - theta “ technology 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 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 |
