H i g h - s e n s i t iv ity A n a ly s is o f N it rogen in St eel

Due to the significant effects of nitrogen on the mechanical properties of steel, the rapid measurement of
nitrogen during the manufacturing process is highly desirable.
The PDA-7000 has recently been developed to replace gas analyzers for in-furnace analysis. It achieves a lower
detectable limit of 5ppm. This instrument reduces sampling operations and shortens analysis times. Additionally,
it eliminates sample defects and enhances yields through its ability to control nitrogen in cast iron.

S e n s i t i v e A n aly s is o f T rac e E lement s in St eel

The establishment of manufacturing technologies for high-purity iron demands process control at lower trace
levels of elements, including C, P, and S.
The PDA-7000 meets these needs by permitting quick and easy ppm-level analysis by time-resolution PDA
photometry.

E l i m i n a t i o n o f C o n tamin atio n Ef f ect s

Replaceable units in the new spark stand eliminate to the maximum degree effects from high-content sample
analysis during trace-element analysis.
This effectively eliminates effects from the analysis of aluminum alloys when high-purity aluminum is analyzed,
for example.

N e w S p a rk Sta n d E n h a n ce s S tabilit y
The structure and materials of the conventional spark stand
have been upgraded to considerably enhance analysis
accuracy for high-concentration elements (stainless steel
and aluminum alloy). It accepts large sample plates, offers
greater ease of handling, and enhances durability.
Further, selecting the optional stand water-cooling kit (see
page 12) restricts the spark stand temperature rise due to
electrical discharge during continuous analysis, thereby
enhancing the stability of the measured values.

Spark Stand

E l e c t ro d e C lea n in g E xten d s E lect rode Lif e approx. 10 Times

Electrode life is increased by approximately ten times by adopting brushing for electrode regeneration in addition
to conventional reversed discharge. Naturally, the convenient reversed discharge is also provided as standard.
To enhance long-term stability, the optional automatic electrode-cleaning unit (page 12) can be selected to keep
the counter electrode clean by automatically brushing away adhering sample deposits. The attached automatic
sample retainer mechanism allows everyone to set samples under identical conditions.

N e w C h a s sis C as e D es ig n o ff ers Superb Environment al Resist ance
The newly designed chassis case enhances environmental resistance.
The monochromator is made of materials resistant to the effects of temperature fluctuations and is installed in a
constant-temperature chamber.
The popular compact design is retained. The chassis case can be mounted against the wall to save space. The
functional design allows maintenance access from the front.
The chassis case design offers greater freedom in analysis laboratory layout.

V a c u u m Mo n o c h ro ma to r
The monochromator must be held in a vacuum or in a gas-replacement atmosphere to avoid effects due to the
absorption of spectral lines such as C, P, S, B, and N by atmospheric oxygen.
Shimadzu adopts a vacuum monochromator that is resistant to the effects of temperature fluctuations. It is
installed in a temperature-controlled monochromator chamber to achieve extremely stable measurements.

S e l e c t O p timal D isc h arg e C ondit ions t o Suit Analysis Range and Elem en t s
Several separate discharge types are available for each analyzed element: high-energy discharge, spark
discharge for excellent reproducibility, and arc-like spark discharge for high sensitivity. A combination of these
can also be selected to set the optimal discharge conditions.
Used with time-resolution photometry, these settings achieve high analysis accuracy.
The addition of the optional small-sample analysis kit (page 12) permits measurements on 0.01mm-thick
samples and small-diameter samples.

U s e r- f ri e nd ly S o ftw are
The software was designed for process analysis, with due consideration of the situation at sites where metals
analysis is conducted in Japan. After the instrument is started, only one action is required to enable
measurement and allow simple process analysis.
Simply enter the required information in sequence to easily create the analysis information.

E x t re me l y S imp le Op era tio n

Simply mount a sample in the spark stand, enter the sample number, and press the start button to display the
analysis results on the screen in just over ten seconds. (The actual analysis time depends on the analysis
conditions.)
The analysis data can be easily converted for flexible processing by commercial software.

Shimadzu's unique PDA photometry is installed as standard to offer a variety of benefits for various analyses.

P D A Ph o t o m e try (P u ls e D istribut ion Analysis Phot omet ry)

Unlike conventional photometry that simply integrates the photocurrent obtained from discharges over a fixed
time, the PDA method integrates the photocurrent obtained from each discharge pulse and analyzes each
integral value as having an individual significance. The optimal processing is then used to determine the
percentage content.
PDA permits speciation analysis and a variety of data processing not possible with previous methods, which
significantly increases the analysis accuracy for many elements.

P r in c i p l e o f O p tica l E mis s io n Spect romet ry

In optical emission spectrometry, electrical energy is imparted to a metal sample and the vaporized atoms are
excited to obtain emission spectra unique to the elements. These emission spectra are separated by a
monochromator and a detector (photomultiplier tube) detects the presence and intensity of each for quantification
and qualification of the elements contained in the sample. This analysis method requires no complex pretreatment
and obtains quantitative values for several tens of elements within one minute of starting analysis.
Shimadzu optical emission spectrometers use a unique process to obtain analysis results in just over ten seconds
after starting analysis. Optical emission spectrometers using photoelectric photometry are prescribed in the Japan
Industry Standards (JIS) and are adopted for a wide range of official analyses.
