ARL'S economical, expandable MODEL 8950 production control
QUANTOMETER More and more modern industries are finding a definite need for regular — but limited — spectrochemical analysis for systematic production control. More and more industries are finding it necessary to begin with economical instrumentation, then expand their laboratories as needed. These industries will welcome t h e n e w model 8950 PCQ. It has all t h e accuracy and speed of t h e automatic Quantometers, yet is priced to meet limited budgets. Routine control analyses of alloys and materials a r e made m a n y times faster than b y chemical means. Production can be accelerated, more accurate quality control maintained, real savings gained in labor and time ! Ask an A R L field engineer for the exact setup to meet your requirements.
