"X-Ray Analysis of Solid Samples"
By John Hadjioannou, P.E., Director of EPI Materials Testing Group, LLC
Analysis of solids samples is an important component in understanding contamination in liquid and gas streams. For the analysis on inorganic and metal elements, one of the more common techniques used is X-Ray. It is then important to understand the basic concepts on X-ray analysis and how these concepts translate into the analysis of solids samples.
About the Speaker:
John serves as an engineering consultant to a variety of industries performing design verification and failure analysis. In these projects, a number of different analytical techniques are utilized to determine quality of material, potential causes and correct identification of materials, particulate, scales and corrosion products. John has firsthand experience with the analytical techniques used, which allows for the correct tests to be selected even when minute amounts of material are present.
