The applicable NAICS code is 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. This spectrometer of Energy Dispersive X-RAY Fluorescence (EDXRF) is a high-speed quantitative and qualitative analysis of Sodium (Na) through Uranium (U) from percent (%) to ppm concentration levels in solid materials and liquid substances of any shape, size or composition. The spectrometer has a unique high performance Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) for air and vacuum environments. The ultra-sensitive large area Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) captures more x-rays and permits analysis of even weakly fluorescing materials /contaminants or minute sample amounts down to nanogram levels. It has a Rhodium (Rh) target X-RAY tube that is efficient in multi-element excitation from Sodium (Na) to Uranium (U). The capability of this instrument is very necessary in analyzing and determining the identity of various contaminants and wear metals in MAIN REDUCTION GEARS (MRG) and operational systems of the different fleet ships in the waterfront that are undergoing repair and maintenance. With the capability of detecting the lightest element of sodium (Na), sea water (Sodium Chloride) contamination in ships operations systems are being identified quickly.
