On-the-spot alloy verification using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to confirm material composition and grade.
Positive material identification (PMI) confirms that the alloy in a component is actually what the paperwork says it is. Using portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers, our technicians read the percentage of each constituent element in the metal and match it to the specified grade — in seconds, without damaging the part.
PMI is essential wherever a material mix-up could cause a failure: alloy piping systems, valves and fittings, weld filler verification, and incoming material receipt. It supports material verification programs, flange-face and retro-PMI campaigns, and quality documentation for new construction and maintenance work.
