A novel WDXRF for ultra-low sulphur analysis in fuels

Published over 7 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Sulphur analysis.

Designed for ultra-low-level sulphur analysis of diesel, petrol (gasoline) and other fuels, the Rigaku Micro-Z ULS wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) instrument features a novel design that measures both the sulphur peak and the background intensity. The ability to measure and correct for changes in background intensity delivers a better net peak intensity measurement, resulting in superior calibrations and enhanced real-world precision. Rigaku Micro-Z ULS complies with ASTM 2622-10, ISO 20884 and JIS K2541-7 methods.

Rigaku Micro-Z ULS is the ideal solution for sulphur analysis of petroleum-based fuels, with a lower limit of detection (LLD) of 0.3 ppm sulphur. Employing robust fixed optics in a vacuum environment, and featuring a specially designed doubly curved RX-9 analysing crystal, the Micro Z ULS delivers consistent high sensitivity measurements. Specifically designed for non-technical users, all operations – from calibration through routine analysis – can be performed via the easy-to-use interface. And the analyser can be powered by any standard “wall” AC outlet.
