Positive Material Identification*

Mixed material, stamping of the wrong grade, lost paperwork or having the wrong paperwork are all scenarios that have happened and continue to happen in the metals industry. These are the circumstances that make it necessary for PMI to be performed at multiple stages of delivery and processing. An alloy's grade will affect its overall durability, as well as its resistance to forces such as heat and corrosion, so knowing what you're working with is of the utmost importance. XRF metal analysis helps to avoid failures such as stress cracking, weak welding, and more issues that can have serious consequences. 

A Handheld XRF PMI gun can analyse, identify and display grade and composition of a material in seconds without creating any marks on the material or destroying the sample in any way. XRF metal analysis measures the fluorescent rays of a sample and uses the unique characteristics of the rays to determine what elements are present. 

For optimal efficiency and safety, a PMI program ensures that every part installed meets the specification required to stand up to the demands of the working environment.
