XRF Services calibration standards are provided by CalMetrics, Inc.
a qualified and fully equipped standards calibration laboratory. CalMetrics
acquired exclusive licensed technology
for standard development and manufacture from ThermoElectron, previously a division
of Veeco Instruments and originally founded as UPA Technology. Now an independent
company, the employees (qualified chemists) and owners have in excess of 20 years
average experience in the EDXRF industry. With an extensive primary
standard library, CalMetrics is capable of providing the best standards
calibration service in the industry. Along with XRF standards they can also provide
calibrations on thickness standards for beta back scatter, gauging sheets for
magnetic lift off, eddy current standards and hall effect standards. When
ordering XRF standards please remember: - Calibration
standards come in two formats: Plated and Foil standards
-
Plated Standards: although more resilient are less versatile, as they are plated
directly onto the base material. Some plated standards might also be susceptible
to migration over time depending on the application.
- Foil
standards are more delicate and are more easily damaged through rough handling.
Foil standards although more delicate are more versatile as the base material
can be interchanged. Foil standards, depending on the type of mount, can be stacked.
Stacked standards make it possible to calibrate multilayer applications.
- It
is important to indicate the type of XRF system being used when ordering, as standards
can be mounted to different platforms. Also, a flat mount would allow stacking
of standards for a greater range of applications.
- Another
reason to indicate the XRF system used is because the algorithms might vary from
system to system (the Sn-Pb/Cu algorithm on a Veeco XRF is different than that
of a Seiko SFT). This may mean the same calibration for two different systems
might require a different range or quantity of standards.
- Foil
Standard sets typically come with one base material. Alternate base material must
be specified.
- Standards
can also be made from customer-supplied samples, referred to as: T.S.P.S. (Thickness
Standards Preparation Service), pricing for this available on a case-by-case basis.
