Mobile Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) for Metal Alloy Analysis and Identification
OES finds is primary utility in accurate Carbon and other light element analysis in metal alloys.
Mobile systems are used when it is necessary to do the testing in-situ or where the test
specimen is located such as piping, valves and vessel components in critical chemical,
petroleum and energy plant certification is needed - otherwise known as Positive Material
Indentification.
