The Hitachi X-MET8000 Optimum Sulfur in Oil XRF Package (10009712) is a field-portable analyser configured for sulfur measurement in oil from 0 to 5% S and Alloy FP applications. It combines the analyser, factory calibration, sample handling equipment, transport accessories and wireless connectivity required for on-site or laboratory testing.
Key Features
- Factory-calibrated sulfur analysis from 0 to 5% S, supporting routine measurement of sulfur concentrations in oil samples
- Optimised dual-range calibration, divided into 0–0.75% S and 0.75–5% S ranges for improved performance across the measurement span
- Fast 60-second analysis cycle, with initial results displayed within seconds and updated throughout the measurement
- Conformance with recognised test methods, including ISO8754 and ASTM D4294
- Additional Alloy FP application, extending the package beyond its primary sulfur-in-oil configuration
- Automatic temperature and pressure compensation, correcting for changes in air density that could otherwise affect results
- Simple sample preparation, using a sample cup and 3.5 µm Mylar film without requiring sample weighing or volume measurement
- Protective sample measurement arrangement, with a safety window and shield helping minimise the risk of oil reaching the analyser
- Field-ready construction, with IP54 protection against dust and splashed water and testing to MIL-STD-810G for ruggedness
- Portable sample support equipment, including a small sample tray, light stand and safety shield
- Complete transport and power kit, including a rugged carrying case, wrist strap, lanyard, two Li-ion batteries, charger and USB cable
- Flexible wireless data transfer, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity included
Note: Optional accessories such as a benchtop stand, sample-cell rack, additional sample cups and a portable Bluetooth printer are available separately.
Benefits
- Obtain sulfur results at the sampling location without routinely transporting every sample to a central laboratory.
- Reduce preparation time through a straightforward sample-cup procedure that requires no weighing.
- Support consistent measurements across changing environmental conditions through automatic temperature and pressure compensation.
- Move between ships, ports, field locations and laboratories using the compact transport configuration.
- Minimise the risk of contamination or damage during oil analysis with the supplied safety window, sample tray and shield.
- Begin testing with the core calibration, sample accessories, batteries and transport equipment supplied as one package.
