At Applied Standards Inspection Inc., we understand the importance of using the correct materials in your projects.
Our Positive Material Identification (PMI) services provide a fast, reliable, and non-destructive method to verify the chemical composition of your metallic components.
This helps prevent costly errors, ensures compliance with industry standards, and promotes overall safety in your operations.
PMI is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that utilizes handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers from Applied Standards Inspection Inc. These analyzers emit a safe form of radiation that interacts with the atoms in the material, revealing its elemental composition (alloys).
Handheld analyzer utilizing laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), a type of atomic Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES). The LIBS technology gives a more precise control of the plasma formation over a traditional OES system (carbon steels).
By comparing the detected elements and their percentages to a reference database, our qualified inspectors at ASII can accurately identify the specific alloy grade of your component.
