All indicated elements can be fused with lithium tetraborate FX-X100. 

As standard recipe a ratio of 1:8 to 1:10 (sample : fl ux) is assumed. 

Depending on diff erent solubilities of pure oxides higher dilution could be necessary.

Group of volatile elements F, Cl, S 

These elements show a loss in dependence of fusion temperature, precise temperature 

setting required for high precision fusion. 

Group of elements causing sticking in the mould Fe, Co, Cu, Cr 

These elements change the viscosity of the melt depending on their concentrations. 

This can only be eliminated by adding bromide or iodide salts. 

This applies for: Fe > 40%, Co, Cu > 0.1, Cr > 0.5% 

Group of elements which colour the fusion

Group of compounds which need pre-treatment 

Minerals with carbon : continuous casting powder 

Sulfi de ores : FeS, CuS, ZnS, MoS, PbS 

Metal alloys : FeNiCo, FeSi, FeMn, FeMo, … FeXX 

Organic compounds : Ca, Pb stearates 

These materials have to be oxidized fi rst before normal fusion to avoid reaction 

with platinum ware.

Drift monitors 

After establishing a calibration on an X-ray fl uorescence instrument 

everybody likes to use it as long as possible. 

This wouldn’t be any problem if the instrument would not show any 

changes in sensitivity over time. But it is the opposite. 

The x-ray tube looses intensity and the detector looses sensivity 

over time. Service works for example changing an x-ray tube or a 

crystal might have an infl uence to the sensitivity as well. 

To use an existing calibration over a long time the change in sensitivity 

for an element has to be detected by a drift monitor and then used to 

correct for it. Such samples are called drift monitors, monitor samples, 

reference samples or monitor standards. 

FLUXANA calibrations, installed in many customer laboratories, 

contain a special selection of drift monitors to guarantee an excellent 

long term stability. 

These monitor samples were designed especially for the use in our 

customer applications. 

Driven by customers we produce monitor samples in our glass 

production designed on the customer need. 

Examples for FLUXANA monitor glasses: 

FLX-C1, C3, Z1, Z2, Z3 Cement, raw materials cement industry, glass industry 

FLX-S13 Multi- element X-ray calibration 

FLX-S6M X-ray calibration 

FLX-SP1, SP2 Raw materials, ores

3 Solid Analysis 

3.1 Press 

Press 

Manual and electric hydraulic presses 

The preparation of solid pellets requires a hydraulic press 

and an appropriate die. Stable pellets can be prepared 

from a loose powder, using an aluminium cap or binder 

material. 

Usual diameters for XRF are 32 and 40mm. Considering that 

pressure is force per surface area it is recommended to use 

at least 15 tons for 32mm and 25 tons for 40mm. 

Specifications 

Max pressure 15 / 25 tons, electrical 25 / 40 tons 

Pressure display 0-20t / 0-30t / 0-40t 

Piston 108mm 

Bolster Screw diameter 30mm 

Bolster Screw Travel max 90mm 

Minimum distance between pressing faces 35mm 

Maximum distance between pressing faces 125mm 

Area size D310 x W290mm 

Weight 50,5kg, electrical 60kg 

Additional specs for electrical press: Push button to start the pressing 

process with an automatic switch off when the pre-defined pressure is reached.

Solid analysis 3 

Pellet Dies 3.1.1 

The Dies are designed for use with our Hydraulic Presses. 

Halide disks for infrared analysis are usually produced with the smaller size dies. 

The larger size dies are commonly used in briquetting samples for XRF and XRD 

analysis and many other industrial applications. 

All of the dies are equipped with nitrile O-ring seals and 2 pellets in between the sample is pressed. 

There is a wide range of 440C hardened stainless steel Evacuable Pellet Dies, 

used for compacting powdered samples into disks or briquettes.

Especially for low quantities of samples a boric acid 

backing might be a solution. 

To place the sample in the center we offer a special 

tool to pour the sample into the die. 

A piston helps to press before filling the boric acid on top.

Aluminium Cups 

Aluminium cups are used to stabilize your sample from 2 sides. 

However for a successful use the sample must show at least some binding properties. 

Another advantage of this method is the possibility of labeling and sucking with autosamplers.

3.1.5 Binding additives for XRF analysis 

Binding additives for XRF analysis 

Not all samples can be pelletized using Aluminium cups. They may be unstable or the 

aluminium cups effect the result. In such a case a binding material can be used. 

The most common is Hoechstwax HWC, available as a loose powder. 

Alternatively, a high performance “multimix” binder is available, in tablet form, 

producing highly stable and durable pellets. It is important to mix the binder well 

with the sample using a suitable mill. Contact us for information on appropriate 

mills for your application. 

Powders Wax Pellet 

If you have only a small amount of sample material a stable pellet can be made by 

using boric acid at the back of the sample. The boric acid is poured into the die first 

and then the sample is added on top. During pressing the boric acid forms a 

stable backing to the sample. 

Wax is good for the preparation of reference samples or calibration standards. 

Important is a good homogeneous mixture between wax and your sample. 

Multimix is good for the preperation of cement, raw meal, clinker, sand, etc. 

You just add 2-3 pellets before milling your sample and you will get a nice stable 

dustfree pellet.

preparing recalibration samples and standards.
