Z-200 C+: The Ultimate Handheld Analyzer for Carbon Content in Stainless Steels, Alloys, and Cast Irons
The Z-200 C+ is a revolutionary handheld analyzer designed for precise carbon content measurement in stainless steels, cast irons, and carbon steels, including L-grade and H-grade alloys. With advanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology, the Z-200 C+ is the only device in the world capable of delivering such detailed and reliable alloy analysis in the field. Whether for use in refineries, inspection companies, or for field carbon analysis, the Z-200 C+ sets the standard for mobile and accurate alloy testing.
What is the Z-200 C+ Analyzer?
The Z-200 C+ is a dedicated handheld analyzer for alloy analysis, designed to measure carbon content in materials down to 0.007 ppm. This precision is critical for differentiating between L and H grades in stainless steel alloys. Its versatility extends to carbon steels as well, with the ability to analyze carbon equivalents (CE) for weldability analysis.
Key Features of the Z-200 C+
The Z-200 C+ boasts several features that ensure high performance and accuracy:
Dual Calibration Models: The Z-200 C and Z-200 C+ are available with different calibration models. The Z-200 C offers iron-based calibrations, including carbon analysis, while the Z-200 C+ includes both iron and stainless steel bases for an even broader range of applications.
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS): LIBS is a powerful technique used to identify elemental compositions. By firing a laser pulse at the sample, it creates a plasma, and the light emitted from this plasma is used to analyze the material. Unlike traditional spark OES, LIBS does not rely on continuous sparks, making it a cleaner, more reliable method for field testing.
Accurate Carbon Analysis: The Z-200 C+ provides a specialized capability to analyze carbon content in alloys, making it ideal for determining whether materials meet specific requirements for L and H grades, crucial for industries like manufacturing and welding.
Advantages of Using the Z-200 C+ in the Field
