M4000 CCD full-spectrum spark OES analyzer for fast elemental analysis of steel and other metals in production and lab QC.
Overview
The M4000 is a CCD full-spectrum spark OES analyser from FPI (Focused Photonics), using a Paschen-Runge optical bench with multiple high-performance CCD detectors and a thermostatted, sealed optical chamber with argon recirculation, analysing Fe, Al, Cu and other matrices. Housed in a horizontal cabinet with an open spark stand and sample clamping lever on the right, it uses a programmable all-digital pulsed source and delivers multi-element quantitative results in tens of seconds. Software features real-time intelligent drift correction, smart curves, grade identification, QC limits and carbon-equivalent calculation, with low argon consumption and low maintenance. Widely used in foundries, metallurgy, machining, aerospace, metal processing, material certification and R&D for fast in-process quantitative analysis.
Applications
• Road and highway engineering laboratory testing
• Construction material quality control and acceptance
• Research and teaching laboratories
• Third-party inspection and certification bodies
Features
• Robust construction suitable for both laboratory and field use
• Compliant with relevant Chinese and international testing standards
• Complete with calibration certificate and operation manual

FAQ
Q1: What standards does the M4000 Spark Optical Emission Spectrometer comply with?
A1: The M4000 Spark Optical Emission Spectrometer is designed and manufactured in accordance with relevant Chinese national (GB) and transport industry (JTG) standards, as well as applicable ASTM and AASHTO international standards. A calibration certificate traceable to national standards is provided with each unit.
Q2: How often should the M4000 Spark Optical Emission Spectrometer be calibrated?
A2: We recommend annual calibration by authorized technicians or by iRoad after-sales service center. For high-frequency laboratory use, semi-annual calibration is advised. The instrument is supplied with a factory calibration certificate.
Q3: What is the lead time and do you provide training?
A3: Standard units are usually shipped within 7-15 working days. Custom configurations may require 20-30 days. iRoad provides on-site installation, commissioning and operator training for major equipment; remote video guidance is available for standard laboratory instruments.
