Positive Material Identification (PMI) is a specialised non-destructive testing technique. This Testing aims to analyse and identify the grading of material and composition of the alloy. PMI is majorly done for quality check and maintaining safety standards. Positive metal identification usage is in various industries, including chemicals, power, oil and gas, fabrication, pharmaceutical, and more. The benefit of positive metal identification is that it helps in preventing failure in product manufacturing.
Impartial Testing’s skilled PMI inspectors can help in generating on the spot reports after the examination. Various methods are used for PMI, such as X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyser and Spark emission Spectrography.
In-Situ Positive Metal Identification
In-Situ Positive Metal Identification is used to identify the grade of alloys and metals in seconds which are at an in-service stage and too big for laboratory testing. It is for preventing the events like explosions, corrosions and blackouts.
