The Hitachi High-Tech X-MET8000 range is a family of handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers designed for rapid, on-site elemental analysis and material identification. The range enables users to identify alloy grades and determine the chemical composition of a wide variety of materials without damaging the sample.

Weighing approximately 1.5 kg, the X-MET8000 is designed for portable operation in laboratories, manufacturing facilities, recycling plants, mining sites, and other demanding environments. Its icon-based touchscreen interface requires minimal operator training, while its rugged construction is IP54 rated and tested to MIL-STD-810G standards.

Depending on the configuration, the X-MET8000 range can analyze elements from Mg to U, with advanced models offering optimized analysis through multi-position filters, high-performance detectors, and application-specific calibrations. Results can be stored on the instrument, exported through USB or PC, or managed through Hitachi’s ExTOPE Connect data-management platform.

Why choose an X-MET8000 handheld XRF analyzer?

Superior performance

• The X-MET XRF analyzer provides great light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl) analysis, low limits of detection, and outstanding precision for results you can trust, day after day.
• Test a wide range of materials with its versatile standardless fundamental parameters (FP) methods, or use its empirical calibrations when results traceability and superior accuracy are needed.

Easy to use

• With its large touchscreen and icon-driven user interface, the user training required to operate the X-ray spectrometer analyzer is minimal.

Superb ergonomics

• Light (it’s only 1.5kg), compact, and balanced, you can use the X-MET for long periods of time with minimum fatigue.

Robust for low cost of ownership

• IP54 compliant (equivalent to NEMA 3), splash water and dust proof, you can use the X-MET confidently indoors or outdoors.

• Tested to the MIL-STD-810G military grade standard for robustness.

• Its optional shield prevents costly detector repairs when measuring rough surfaces.

Advanced data management

• Total flexibility: Store up to 100,000 results on-board the X-MET, export reports on a USB flash drive or a PC, or automatically store the X-MET data securely in the ExTOPE Connect.
