Why perform needless, costly analysis of your metals when all you need is a quick sort?
The new Alloy Ranger comparator can reliably sort metal mix-ups. Thermo-Electric is the least expensive method for sorting various alloys, such as stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, etc.
Each test takes only one second. Get rapid testing results in your facility without needing to involve outside labs. Across many industries, quality experts rely on Thermoelectric Sorters for various applications, including metal inspection, quality control, scrap sorting, maintenance, and metal equipment repair. Use The Ranger to inspect incoming stock, classify unmarked alloys, recycle scrap metal, and detect coatings and plating (such as plasma) on various metal types.
THERMOELECTRIC APPLICATIONS:
- Sort Stainless Steel, Tool Steel, Low-Alloy steel, Common steel, super alloys, Specialty steel, Aluminum, Titanium, and more.

THERMOELECTRIC ALLOY SORTER DETAILS:
The testing procedure is so simple
- Push the power switch to ON, warming up the Ranger's probe.
- Hold the probe to your test metal for one second.
- See the displayed number. Compare readings to a known sample or from the provided chart.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION:
The Ranger utilizes a principle that is very similar to that of an ordinary thermocouple. The test process involves the direct conversion of temperature differences of a specimen into an electrical signal (a scientific phenomenon known as the Seebeck Effect). This method is known as thermoelectric alloy sorting. A temperature-regulated metal probe contacts the test metal, forming a thermocouple-type circuit and generating a very small micro-voltage. The micro-voltage varies depending on the composition of the metal and can be consistently correlated. This thermal property can be used to characterize most metals. Thermoelectric alloy sorting is a widely known and ASTM-approved method (ASTM E977) for metal classification and verification. Top fabricators, pharmaceutical OEMs, and aerospace industries worldwide have chosen Koslow Scientific for over 50 years.
