A low‐cost multipurpose X‐ray beamline has been commissioned at the bending magnet B15 of the Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (SRRC). The beamline is constructed in such a way to accommodate the various needs of small research consortia, from universities or research institutes, whose requirements of a beamline facility are quite diverse while under limited funding support. Flexibility is the special feature of this beamline. It is capable of performing quick test measurements without a prolonged reviewing process. Switching between different techniques, such as white‐beam irradiation, EXAFS and X‐ray scattering, can be achieved within 1 h. Novel experiments, such as energy‐dispersive small‐angle scattering experiments and energy‐dispersive reflectivity measurements, can also be performed.
