RoHS Screening by XRF

Screening by X-ray fluorescence for RoHS is a recommended technique as it is an efficient, fast, low-cost and a non-destructive method. XRF screening will provide information about the chemical content of the materials or products being tested which will determine the presence of Pb, Hg, Cr, Cd and Br and help you identify whether a product is compliant. Screening by XRF is quick, simple and results easy to interpret. It is an efficient and cost effective way to ensure products are RoHS compliant.

Screening Routine with Skyray XRF Analysers

The screening process with a Skyray XRF analyser is very simple and can be carried out very quickly:

Switch on Analyser and allow to warm up.
Calibrate Analyser with a calibration sample.
Measure your sample.
View results to confirm if sample is compliant or non-compliant.
Document results.
