Retro-Active Positive Material ID Inspection

PMI (Positive Material Identification) testing is the analysis of materials to determine the chemical composition.

Knowing the exact composition and grade of an alloy enables suppliers, plant workers, and other responsible parties  to match alloy specifications. Techniques and methods deployed include Portable X-Ray Flourescene (XRF), Optimal Emission Spectroscopy (OES), Ferrite Testing, and Hardness Testing. 

The Advanced Retro PMI inspection program is utilized as a multi-feature system minimizing the amount of insulation and scaffolding needed, while indentifying , documenting, and verifying material specifications while in service. 

Advantages of PMI:

  • Rapid and accurate analysis
  • Determines material composition
  • Leaves no trace of testing on test sample
