Operating principle
‘The spectrometer operating principle is based on excitation of
fluorescence radiation of atoms in the substance being
analyzed by radiation coming from the low-power X-ray tube.
The fluorescence radiation from the sample gets into the SDD
semiconductor detector where quanta of any energy are
converted into electrical pulses, which amplitudes are
proportional to the energy of absorbed quanta,
Pulse-repetition rate with the certain amplitude is proportional Detector scheme
to the chemical element concentration in the sample.High efficiency SDD detector
The silicon drift detector (SDD) with ultrathin entrance window allows
registering x-ray radiation in wide energy range on retention of energy resolution
and response.

Up-to-date software
BRA-135F software is the optimal
combination of high performance and
functionality with an intuitive
interface and tooltips. Owing to this,
performance of routine
measurements requires no special
staff,
For measurements it is enough to
make a few simple steps: select the
sample position, enter its code, choose
the research method and run the
analysis.

BRA-135F software unveils wide
‘opportunities for on-line receiving of
information on the chemical composition of
the material to be analyzed. The user chooses

For operator convenience in operation, the
auxiliary utilities were implemented to
minimize errors during the analysis. For
example, semi-automatic marker of lines
allows correct identification of spectral lines
of different elements.
Fundamental parameters method
The software implementing fundamental parameters method
allows. semi-quantitative and quantitative determination of
elements within the range from Mg (12) to Pb (82) in solid
samples of steels and alloys with composition of 0.1% to 100%,
If there are no standard composition samples, to calibrate the
spectrometer and with large list of materials under analysis, the
standardless semi-quantitative analysis is implemented, which
represents the following dependences:
+ integrated spectrometer sensitivity on Z element;
+ relative (to the integral sensitivity) intensity of analytical line
corrected for background and drift, on sample composition
(this dependence was implemented through absorption
parameter P),
