National Wire & Cable has employed advanced X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technology. Through this technology, the company’s products meet the standards of several international lead-free, green and REACH manufacturing regulations.
2012-Niton-XL3
In X-ray fluorescence, the material being exposed to x-rays absorbs energy from the sample. The atom in the sample emits a core electron, when the energy is increased, it will result in successive electrons filling the space. The element gains or loses the energy based on its change in position. The XRF device detects such energy.
The XRF analysis approach was first invented by Henry Moseley in 1912. The phenomenon of exciting a sample and obtaining the energy resulting from the x-rays being emitted was found to be applicable by Mosely. For elemental analysis of materials, the X-ray fluorescence is demonstrated to be the ideal technique. However, XRF technology serves as a key tool for materials analysis for the existing modern era.
National Wire accommodates the Niton XL3 compact XRF analyzer, which has the potential to generate validated chemical materials analysis in real time. The production process in National Wire facilitates the validation of XRF analysis such as stockroom, receipt of material, and finished product. The compliance assurance system is leveraged with a standardized record retention process.
National Wire & Cable is one of the pioneers in North America renowned for the production of wire and cable products. The company’s wire and cable has universal applications including installation in defibrillators for hospital emergency rooms, and employed even in Disneyland theme park ride.
