Abstract:
A method for detecting surface impurities on a surface of a component by X-ray fluorescence analysis uses a hand spectroscope for application to the surface of a component. The hand spectroscope comprises an X-ray source, a fluorescent radiation detector, an analyzer and a display. The method comprises irradiating the surface of the component with X-rays using the X-ray source; detecting fluorescent radiation, which is emitted by the surface of the component as a result of the irradiation with the X-rays, using the fluorescent radiation detector; measuring a radiation spectrum of the detected fluorescent radiation; generating an evaluation result by analyzing the measured radiation spectrum using the analyzer, the evaluation result comprising a quantitative measure of the surface impurity of the surface due to predetermined characteristic substances; and outputting the generated evaluation result on the display.
Abstract:
A method for testing a component for contamination. The method comprises a heating of a specimen surface of the component under a measuring bell defining a measurement volume, an at least two-time measuring of a contamination of the measurement volume with at least one contaminant, and a purging of the measurement volume with gas. An apparatus for testing a component for contamination is also disclosed. The apparatus comprises a measuring bell configured to form a measurement volume about the component or contacting the component. A heating element is configured to heat at least one specimen surface of the component. A purging unit is configured to purge the measurement volume with gas. A sensor system is configured to measure a contamination of the measurement volume with at least one contaminant.
Abstract:
An apparatus used for the surface examination of components. The apparatus comprises: a radiation source configured to convert at least one non-volatile substance at least partially into a gas by irradiating a sample surface of a component; and a detector unit configured to qualitatively and/or quantitatively detect the at least one substance converted into gas. A method provided for a surface examination of components. The method comprises irradiating a sample surface of a component with a radiation source configured to convert at least one non-volatile substance at least partially into a gas; and a qualitative and/or quantitative detection of the at least one substance converted into gas via a detector unit.
Abstract:
A device used to examine layer material for contamination. The device comprises a heating device to heat a test area of the layer material and a detector device to detect at least one contaminant desorbed from the layer material. The heating device comprises at least one infra-red heating element. A method comprises heating a test area of the layer material and detecting at least one contaminant desorbed from the layer material. The heating takes place via an infra-red heating element.
