Field portable energy dispersive x -ray fluorescence (FP-EDXRF) spectrometers are becoming a standard tool for non-destructive analysis of metals. This artìcle discusses the major issues related to the infield use of such equipments. The quantitative analysis of alloys is in principle possible with some restrietions due to the measuring conditions.

Abstract
Field portable energy dispersive x -ray fluorescence (FP-EDXRF) spectrometers are becoming a standard tool for non-destructive analysis of metals.

The quantitative analysis of alloys is in principle possible with some restrietions due to the measuring conditions. The difficulties for a quantitative analysis and some evaluation of instrumental error are presenled. Finally, the possibihty to use such systems for the assay of ancient gold artefacts is shortly discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
