Materials
analysis utilising radiation detection and measurement technologies is an integral component of numerous industrial processes. Southern Innovation's SITORO® digital pulse processing technology improves detection speed and accuracy in materials analysis which, in many applications, is a time critical element of the industrial process.
Accurate material engineering and analysis is critical across a broad range of modern
industrial processes, whereby an array of analytical techniques are used to
identify the chemical, molecular or structural composition of materials.
The materials under investigation may be solids, liquids, gases or powders and
applications range across fields as diverse as automotive manufacturing, waste
management, mineral exploration, semiconductors manufacture, farming and
pharmaceutical development.
In order to characterise these materials various scientific techniques are used for the
quantitative and qualitative analysis of materials. Prevalent analysis techniques
include: x-ray powder diffraction (XRD); x-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy
and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM).These procedures use
radiation such as neutrons, gamma-rays, x-rays and electrons to analyse and
characterise the attributes of a range of materials.
Materials engineering and analysis processes typically demand high throughput and
accuracy. SITORO® dramatically
improves the performance of radiation detection and measurement techniques used
for materials engineering and analysis. Relevant technologies include:
