Lead Based Paint (LBP) Analysis using DELTA Handheld XRF
The DELTA Tube Based Handheld XRF with the new, proprietary SmartScreen™ method for LBP measurements provides fast and accurate analysis of lead (Pb) in paint without radioactive isotopes.
Fast, Accurate Handheld XRF with New SmartScreen™ Method*
For LBP testing, the DELTA XRF with SmartScreen™ adjusts speed of measurement for optimum accuracy and maximum productivity. Most tests take less than 3 seconds. Even the longest tests are typically less than 10 seconds.
The absolute sensitivity for the DELTA tube based - SDD technology on surface coatings and materials, based on a 120 second test time, is 0.1μg/cm2 or 0.0001mg/cm2. Although many other conditions exist, the table below gives precision data in the context of residential Pb paint testing - where the action levels are typically in the 1.0mg/cm2 range and testing times are often less than 10 seconds.
DELTA XRF SmartScreen™ 3-σ Precision
------
For most paint matrices, whether positive or negative for Pb, SmartScreen™ can deliver a rapid, accurate result. However, when SmartScreen™ identifies a challenging paint matrix through spectral analysis, it extends the measurement time as required for greater accuracy and analytical confidence.
Tube Based LBP Inspections No Radioactive Isotopes
- DELTA handheld XRF analyzers use X-ray tube sources, unlike radioactive isotope sources which are known to be slower and fade over time, requiring frequent resourcing or factory recalibrations.
- The X-ray tube output of a DELTA remains constant for testing with the same precision and speed for its entire life; it starts fast and stays fast.
- X-ray tube based analyzers are much less likely to report false LBP positives than radioactive isotope based analyzers when the Pb is actually in a solid structure, for example on the far side of a wall or door.
- X-ray tube based analyzers eliminate business liabilities associated with owning hazardous radioactive isotopes.
- DELTA handheld XRF analyzers are reliable, light-weight, and ergonomically designed. Optionally available dust wipe, filter, and soil analysis add-on capabilities can help expand business opportunities to other environmental safety inspections without having to purchase a second analyzer.
- The overall low total cost of ownership is a benefit with the DELTA handheld XRF - no resourcing, no biannual leak tests, no radioactive disposal costs, and no increased testing time with age.

DELTA RFA-Handanalysatoren zur Analyse von bleihaltigen Farben
DELTA RFA-Handanalysatoren für die Röntgenfluoreszenzanalyse von Bleifarben messen den Bleigehalt in Sekundenschnelle. Diese zuverlässigen, mit einer Röntgenröhre ausgestatteten Analysatoren sind für den ganztägigen Einsatz leicht und ergonomisch gebaut. Sie sind schnell zu Beginn, wie am Ende der Arbeit, keine Verlangsamung aufgrund der Isotope und das alles mit niedrigen Betriebskosten. Vor Beginn der Instandsetzung – Schleifen, Schneiden oder Anstreichen – sollte das Vorhandensein von Blei überprüft werden und dann nach den Säuberungsarbeiten noch einmal.
