API 578 has included portable LIBS as a technology for PMI besides OES and handheld XRF. LIBS is a fast, easy to use handheld format, ideal for the identification of different types of alloys. There are no x-rays as it uses a focused laser pulse to hit the sample surface, removing only a very small amount of material for analysis leaving a hardly visible burn mark on the measured surface.

Vulcan is one of the fastest metal analysers that is built to last. Just squeeze the trigger and one second later the result appears. As it uses Laser-Induced Breakdown (LIBS) technology, you won’t need to worry about X-rays.

Whether your business is scrap sorting or PMI quality control Vulcan delivers accurate and consistent grade ID every time.
