FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT XRF ANALYZERS & GUN RENTALS
How does an XRF analyzer work?
The SciAps X-550 XRF replaces radioactive isotopes used in traditional XRF analyzers with an X-ray tube. The X-ray tube uses an electric current under high voltage to generate the X-rays needed to measure the appropriate element(s).
What can an XRF analyzer detect?
Depending on the installed application(s), our XRF guns can detect lead-based paint along with a wide range of soil metals and alloys (metal identification).
Does the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) accept XRF technology as a final determination of the quantity of lead in paint?
No.
Is professional certification required to legally use the SciAps Model X-550 XRF?
Certification requirements are often dictated by one or more of the following:
Any Federal/State/City Governmental public bodies responsible for monitoring your project.
In the case of a private industry project, the above may apply plus any additional requirements set forth by the party hiring you to do the inspection.
It is the responsibility of the Renter to meet all applicable requirements, both public and private.
Do the RAECO Rents XRF’s employ a Gold (Au) or the Rhodium (Rh) anode?
All our Model X-550 XRF instruments utilize the Rh anode. Rh anode performance data is stated within the PCS documents, available for free upon request directly from RAECO Rents or the HUD website.
Is the SciAps Model X-550 XRF accepted by HUD for lead-based paint surveys?
Yes. In addition to being included with your rental order on a flash drive, the 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 mg/cm2 Action Level PCS documents may be proactively downloaded directly from the HUD website:
How accurate is XRF analysis?
The SciAps X-550 analyzer is extremely accurate with no substrate corrections or inconclusive ranges or tests—even with a stated Performance Characteristic Sheet (PCS) Action Level of 0.5 mg/cm2.
Is the SciAps Model X-550 XRF capable of measuring lead-based paint below the surface?
Yes, down to almost 1/4” in depth.
Does my rental order include wooden substrate block for calibration to the PCS?
Yes, the NIST 1.04 mg/cm2 wooden substrate block is included along with an external 316 stainless steel clip check standard for energy-scale calibration verification.
Are XRF analyzers safe?
Yes, when operated properly per manufacturer recommendations. The SciAps X-550 XRF analyzers are designed with built-in safety features to minimize exposure. Since the SciAps X-550 XRF does not utilize radioactive isotopes, special handling or regulatory concerns are substantially reduced.
What are the rental rates for a SciAps Model X-550 XRF?
At RAECO Rents, our XRF analyzer rentals start as low as $600 per day for the LBP gun.
Weekly and four-week “monthly” rental periods are also available.
