Built Tough for Maximum Uptime
Vanta™ handheld XRF analyzers provide fast, accurate chemistry and alloy identification in PMI applications including piping, valves, welds, components, and pressure vessels.
Vanta analyzers are essential for:
- Ensuring the correct alloy components are installed in critical locations.
- Complying with American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice (RP) 578—Material Verification Program for New and Existing Alloy Piping Systems.
- Detecting sulfidation corrosion susceptibility (API RP 939-C).
- Evaluating flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) susceptibility.
- Discerning residual element corrosion susceptibility in hydrofluoric acid (HF) alkylation units.
- Cloud technology enabled.
Rugged
Vanta analyzers are built for in-service inspection of high temperature systems and hot sample surfaces up to 425 °C for maximum productivity.
Working conditions can be tough on electronic devices and breakdowns cost time and money.
Vanta analyzers are durable for increased uptime and a low cost of ownership.
- Drop tested using U.S. Department of Defense methods (MIL-STD-810G), reducing the risk of damage and costly repairs when a device is dropped or jostled.
- IP65 rated to withstand rain, dirt, and dust.*
- The detector shutter on C and M series models helps prevent punctures so you can analyze rough surfaces with confidence.
- Withstands a temperature range of -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F) at full duty cycle.**
* M Series analyzers are IP64 rated.
** With optional fan. The fan assembly is IP56 rated. Operates continuously at 33 °C without the fan.
Revolutionary
Vanta analyzers give you the same accurate result every time from your first test to your hundredth test.
The Vanta Series’ proprietary Axon™ technology uses ultra-low-noise electronicsenabling higher X-ray counts per second for fast, accurate, and repeatable results.
Axon technology coupled with a new quad-core processor make Vanta analyzers remarkably responsive, pushing the limits of performance so you get the best results in the least amount of time. Axon technology provides remarkable test-to-test and instrument-to-instrument repeatability, so your first test is the same as your last test no matter what instrument you may use.
Axon technology also provides ultra-low limits of detection (LOD).
Productive
User-friendly software enables operators to make inspections with minimal training.
- Integrated GPS, sample camera, and panoramic camera for improved traceability of test information to the field.
- Touch screen display that is clear, bright, and readable in any light.
- Intuitive user interface that is easy to navigate.
- Customize which features and functions are displayed on the main screen.
- Data export is simple via USB flash drive, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth®.
- Unique username and password login for each user.
- Ergonomic buttons and an industrial-grade, push-button joystick make it easy to navigate the UI with gloved hands.
Traceability and Rapid Reporting
Vanta™ analyzers streamline record keeping and traceability for in-field testing. Users can easily capture and export comprehensive shot data.
- Optional 5-megapixel panoramic camera and aiming camera
- Integrated GPS
- Automatic time / date stamp
- Custom data label templates for each project, job, or vendor
- Optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® connectivity
Weld Grade Library
The weld grade library makes it easy to verify the chemical composition and grade of welds. The optional 3 mm aiming camera enables an inspector to accurately analyze:
- Thin weld beads independent of base material
- Conjoined metals
- Alloys
- Small fixture components
- Wires
- Solders
Residual and Tramp Elements
Set maximum tolerated concentrations for residual elements in grade families for fast, accurate, and conclusive grade matches.
Compare close grades side-by-side to know which alloy is the best match with nominal and residual values:
- Automatically identify the likely presence of elements invisible to XRF based on grade specifications
- Identify the presence of contaminant/residual elements in recycled metals that can compromise its value and/or downstream processing requirements
- Set a maximum tolerated concentration for residual elements in grade families
- Flag trace level contaminants
Material Verification Program Compliance
For material verification programs, Vanta analyzers are used to confirm construction materials, verify materials against material test reports, and identify improperly marked materials.
- Confirm the material of construction
- Verify material against mill certificates and material test reports
- Identify non-traceable or improperly marked material
Vanta analyzers provide asset integrity information for material verification programs. |
In modern industrial environments, Vanta™ analyzers are vital for material compliance programs and helping to ensure safety throughout the supply chain.
Vanta analyzers accurately and repeatedly detect and quantify:
- Residual Elements (RE) in low alloy and carbon steels
- Trace silicon (Si) in carbon steel per API RP 939-C
- Sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P) for in-service stainless steels
