The AELAB SYD-17040A X-ray Fluorescence Sulfur-in-Oil Analyzer is specifically designed to determine sulfur content in petroleum products. It adopts the energy-dispersive principle and integrates electrical, mechanical, and microprocessor control to ensure rapid and accurate sulfur quantification. The instrument meets the requirements of GB/T 17040, SH/T0742, and GB/T11140 for repeatability and reproducibility, and it also complies with ASTM D4294 for reliable sulfur analysis in petrochemical workflows.
It provides a precise measurement solution for sulfur content determination during petroleum or petrochemical production, enabling compliance, quality assurance, and process optimization.
The AELAB SYD-17040A features an integrated microcomputer system with an 8-inch color touchscreen interface for stable operation and intuitive control. The analyzer uses an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence configuration, enabling contact-free sulfur detection without chemical reagents. The instrument supports both liquid oil samples (6 ml) and powder samples (3 g). Its internal electronics regulate X-ray generation, temperature correction, air pressure compensation, and real-time C/H ratio correction to maintain measurement accuracy.
The SYD-17040A operates on energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF). The oil sample absorbs incident X-rays and emits secondary fluorescence characteristic of sulfur atoms. The analyzer detects and quantifies this fluorescence intensity and automatically calculates sulfur concentration. Measurement time can be preset between 30–150 seconds, with automated selection of the working curve, automatic diagnosis, and statistical reporting of average values and standard deviations. All results can be stored or transferred through the RS-232 communication port.
The AELAB SYD-17040A supports RS-232 data export for laboratory information systems, quality control software, and external data reporting. Stored measurements, calibration curves, and historical logs can be backed up or transferred for GLP-compliant documentation.
