There are two main types of XRF systems: Energy Dispersive XRF (ED-XRF) and Wavelength Dispersive XRF (WD-XRF).
Energy Dispersive XRF (ED-XRF) spectrometers are characterized by their simplicity and ease of use. They are capable of simultaneously collecting signals from several elements, which makes them efficient for quick analyses. The resolution of ED-XRF systems typically ranges from 150 eV to 600 eV, making them suitable for a broad range of applications where high precision is not the primary requirement.
Wavelength Dispersive XRF (WD-XRF) spectrometers, on the other hand, are more complex and expensive. They use a goniometer to collect one signal at a time at different angles, which allows for a much higher resolution, typically from 5 eV to 20 eV. This higher resolution makes WD-XRF systems ideal for applications requiring detailed and precise elemental analysis, such as in research and quality control in high-precision industries.
Both types of XRF systems are widely used in various industries including cement, metal ores, mineral ores, oil & gas, environmental, and geological applications. The choice between ED-XRF and WD-XRF depends on the specific requirements of the analysis, including the need for speed, precision, and cost considerations.
