9、ummary of Test Method4.1 The test specimen is finished to a clean, uniform surface,then irradiated with an X-ray beam of high energy. Thesecondary X-rays produced are dispersed by means of crystalsand the intensities are measured by suitable detectors atselected wavelengths. The outputs of the detec

10、tors in voltagepulses are counted. Radiation measurements are made based onthe time required to reach a fixed number of counts, or on thetotal counts obtained for a fixed time (generally expressed incounts or kilocounts per unit time). Concentrations of theelements are determined by relating the mea

11、sured radiation ofunknown specimens to analytical curves prepared with suitablereference materials. Either a fixed-channel (simultaneous)spectrometer or a sequential spectrometer, or an instrumentcombining both fixed-channels and one or more goniometerscan be used.5.
