Protect your investment and prioritize safety during high-temperature operations with the Thermo Scientific Niton XL5 Hot Work Standoff. Specifically engineered for use with the Thermo Scientific™ Niton™ XL5 Plus handheld XRF analyzer, this accessory provides a physical barrier that helps prevent contact with hot surfaces during analysis.

Ideal for operations involving recently welded, cut, or high-heat-treated metals, the Hot Work Standoff helps maintain the XL5’s performance and safety while enabling accurate material identification—even under tough industrial conditions.

The lead time for this part is approximately 8 weeks.

Where high temperature handheld XRF testing is useful

• Welded structure inspection
• Pipeline analysis up to 480C (900F)
• On-site fabrication QA/QC
• Petrochemical refinery maintenance
• Scrap yard testing of freshly cut materials

Test Procedure

1. Wear all appropriate safety gear for your application to protect the user.
2. Make sure only Main and/or Low filters are enabled (no light filter)
3. Ensure sample temperature does not exceed 480C (900F)
4. Test time is no more than 5 seconds
5. Take a recovery time between shots of 20 seconds. This allows the Niton XL5 to cool down. Please monitor your Niton XL5 during testing. It is your responsibility to ensure that your handheld XRF does not get too hot.
