The top portion of the screen lists:
•
Grade Match Score where 100 is a perfect score meaning
that all elements measured fit within the alloy grade
specification.
The first column on the left lists all detected elements. Scroll down
to see additional elements.
The second column is the concentration of that element.
The third column is the “confidence” or “uncertainty” of the
measurement.
The green column on the right is the Specifications column.
Specifications column lists the specification of the best alloy grade
match for the determined chemistry of the sample.
The grade specification will be highlighted in green if a detected
element is specified in the alloy grade and the amount detected is
within the grade’s specification.
In this example test, all elements found in the sample are in grade
316 and are within spec for that grade.
