Another thing?

The plastic mount is a tape?reel with a?hole in the center

Perfect of samples to be placed on top

The pic of the tap is without the reel

It is just an object to help me take a pic shot

In case anyone is wondering..

Thanks for the interesting report. Also on the old forum a member took scraping from white deposits left in the burner of his cooking stove,

In the outside environment I take samples from cracks and crevices of rain drain grates, very good at collecting and concentrating heavy particles, too small to see.

Subject: [XRF] Xrf old faucet

Hi guys

I have done this before in the old forum

This time with better results?

My faucet spout has a??silvery shiny surface with some mottling.Blocked by water deposits due water stagnation.

But I have a confession to make

The faucet was??mounted on white rounded plaster holder at the base

Not in the path of the primary beam

The results show various elements?

Ni,Cu,Zn??,Pb and perhaps Fe

Ni is the??shiny outer coating?

Zinc is the faucet spout

Cu is coming from brass??within (Cu and Zn)

Pb from solder?

Fe if present from plates/escutcheon ?

Zn causing corrosion and??heavy deposits

This cheap Chinese Zn faucet is a bad choice?

Deposits are contributing too

That will be another topic
