The TERRAS Pi900E is a portable handheld EDXRF (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence) metal alloy analyzer that combines accuracy, efficiency, convenience and affordability in a single compact device. Equipped with a high-performance Si-Pin detector, the Pi900E delivers fast, reliable and non-destructive elemental analysis on stainless steel, nickel alloys, copper alloys, titanium and a wide range of other metallic materials.
The Pi900E is the ideal choice for users seeking proven TERRAS XRF technology at an accessible price point — from industrial quality control and scrap metal sorting to PMI testing and precious metal analysis.
Anywhere • Anytime • Affordable
The Pi900E uses advanced X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology with a Si-Pin detector optimized for accurate determination of mid-range to heavy elements. Covering the element range from Potassium (K) to Uranium (U), it identifies alloy grades and quantifies elemental composition within seconds — minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
Lightweight and ergonomic, the Pi900E is designed for comfortable extended use during field operations. Its intuitive touchscreen interface requires minimal training, and its rugged construction ensures reliable performance in harsh environments.
The Pi900E's Si-Pin detector accurately measures mid-range and heavy elements from Potassium (K) to Uranium (U), including the critical industrial elements iron, chromium, nickel, copper, molybdenum, lead, tin, silver and tungsten.
Important Technical Note: In Si-Pin detector based HH-EDXRF systems, light elements such as magnesium (Mg), aluminium (Al), silicon (Si), phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) cannot be reliably measured under standard atmospheric conditions, as their characteristic X-ray energies are too low and are absorbed before reaching the detector. For applications requiring light element determination, please refer to our SDD-based models with thin-window technology (EulerX 900S).
A high-resolution 5-inch touch screen displays measurement results instantly. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity enables seamless data transfer to your PC or other devices. The TERRAS mobile app supports real-time data viewing, sharing and printing, with GPS positioning, barcode scanning and data archiving functions also supported.
The TERRAS product family offers handheld XRF alloy analyzers for different needs and budgets. Here are the key differences:
| Feature | Pi900E | EulerX 900 | EulerX 900S |
|---|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Affordable entry-level model | Professional high-end model | Professional + light elements |
| Detector | Si-Pin detector | SDD (Graphene window) | SDD (Graphene window) |
| Resolution | <140 eV FWHM | <129 eV FWHM | <129 eV FWHM |
| Ti, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Mo, Pb, Sn, W, etc. | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Light elements (Mg, Al, Si, P, S) | ✘ Not measurable | ✘ Not measurable | ✔ Measurable |
| Full aluminium alloy composition | ✘ | ✘ | ✔ |
| Alloy grade library | Multi-calibration | 1,600+ grades (AISI, DIN, JIS, GB) | 1,600+ grades (AISI, DIN, JIS, GB) |
| Best suited for | Budget-conscious, routine analysis | High-volume industrial QC | Al/Mg alloys, Si/P/S in steel |
Recommendation: The Pi900E offers excellent cost-performance balance for routine steel, stainless steel, copper and nickel alloy analysis, scrap sorting and PMI. For full aluminium or magnesium alloy composition analysis, or Si, P and S determination in steel, the EulerX 900S is recommended.
Eliminate the need to transport samples to external laboratories by performing analysis directly on-site. Transportation costs, waiting times and third-party lab fees drop to zero. Rapid, reliable results drive operational efficiency throughout your workflow.
Serve multiple industries and applications with a single versatile device. Customizable calibration settings adapt to specific analytical needs. Solid samples, powders and liquids can all be analysed without additional equipment.
Non-destructive testing preserves the complete physical integrity of your materials. The X-ray source automatically shuts off when no sample is detected in the test area; password-protected user security prevents unauthorized operation. Ensure compliance with industry regulations and standards with ease.
