Scrap yards-pushing handheld analysers to the limit

摘要

Shocks, drops, vibration, rain, dust and sharp objects are all real every day risks when operating handheld analysers at the scrap yards. With some precautions, proper training and a dash of common sense, many of the incidents can be avoided, but still accidents do happen. Modern handheld instruments are designed to be used outdoors in tough environments and withstand heavy treatment-until a certain point. Understanding the design and limitations will help to take good care of the investment and ensure trouble-free operation throughout the instrument's lifetime.
