Positive Material Identification (PMI)
Positive Material Identification (PMI) is the analysis of a metallic alloy to establish composition by
reading the percentage quantities of its constituent elements. The object of this nondestructive testing
method is to identify metal alloys in place using a portable X-Ray fluorescent analyzer that determines the
elemental composition of the material.
Applications
The main applications of this service are:
- To test ferrous and non-ferrous metallic materials,
stainless steels, Monels, Inconels, Hastelloys, Aluminum
alloys, nickel based alloys, exotic materials - To inspect valves and valve components, pipe, fittings,
machined parts, castings, forgings, bolts and stock items - To inspect welds and weld overlays
- To verify compliance of new and in-service pressure vessels, plate material, and structural steel
Advantages
The main advantages of this service are:
- Rapid and accurate analysis
- Highly portable digital technology, can be used on site
- Certifies components requiring NACE MR0175/ISO 15156
- Leaves no trace of testing on test sample
Equipment
Equipped with the following devices:
- Equipped with Oxford X-MET5100 Hand-held XRF analyzer (revolutionary light element analysis, with no awkward vacuum pumps or helium bottles and substantially faster analysis and throughput with low detection limits)
