Abstract

X-ray fluorescence as a method of chemical analysis has been receiving considerable attention due to its inherent advantages of being non-destructive and generally less time consuming than conventional methods. A method of analysis is described using a pulse height analyzer in conjunction with the X-ray fluorescent unit which further extends the range of analysis.

This combination was used to measure tin in steel as low as .01% to an accuracy of .003%. Other similar analyses are suggested.
