Then m and b directly enter a new model. The correction factor can be use EXCEL to calculate the linear regression。y value represents laboratory data, x value represents TrueX results.

    Drawell recommends that instrument users participate in a radiation safety and operational training class offered by Drawell. WARNING: treat radiation with respect. Do not hold your analyzer near the window during testing. Never point your analyzer at yourself or anyone else when the shutter is open.

  • Page 30: Exposure To Radiation

    4.2 Exposure to Radiation Exposure to Radiation Human dose to radiation is typically measured in rem, or in one-thousandths of a rem, called millirem (mrem), 1 rem = 1000 mrem. Another unit of dose is the Sievert (Sv), 1 Sv = 100 rem. The allowable limit for occupational exposure in the U.S (and many countries internationally) is 5,000 mrem/year (50 mSv/year) for deep (penetrating) dose and 50,000 mrem/year (500 mSv/year) for shallow (i.e., skin) dose or dose to extremities.

    4.5.5 Take Proper Care of your TrueX Analyzer Keeping your analyzer maintained in good condition will help minimize the risk of accidental exposure. Mechanical malfunction of the shutter can be avoided by maintaining the Kapton window, as described in the User Guide. This prevents foreign objects from entering your Beethor X3G Series.

    Sample preparation Chapter 5 5.1 Analysis of Prepared Samples Analysis of bagged bulk samples Sometimes it is convenient to measure samples in plastic bags. Without further preparation of the sample, you can screen the site by testing each bag. Because you are testing through a bag, test results will tend to be lower than test results obtained from direct analysis.

    several different sized metal sieves, cups to hold the samples. CAUTION: All test equipment must be kept clean to prevent contamination of samples. 5.2 Cleaning Your Equipment 5.2.1 Sample Preparation Prior to analysis, the material should be dry and well homogenized. Ideally, the entire sample should be dried to constant weight, sifted to remove gravel and debris, and ground or milled to a fine powder.

  • Page 36: Placing The Sample In An Xrf Sample Cup

    Note: The sample container should be a sample cup of a type that can be filled from the rear; that is, the side opposite the window. Drawell recommends using a 1/4 mil (6.3mm) Polypropelene film. A supply of cups and films are included.
  • Page 37 Fill the rest of the cup with polyester fiber stuffing to prevent sample movement. Use aquarium filter or pillow filling as stuffing. A small supply of stuffing comes with your bulk sample kit. Cap the cup. Place a label on the cup. Use a pen with indelible ink and write identifying information on the cup.
