Positive material identification (PMI) is an essential non-destructive testing method utilized to verify that supplied materials conform to the proper standards and specifications. It is used to analyze and identify material grade and alloy composition for quality and safety control.

At Oil and Gas, power generation and petrochemicals plants, pre-service and in-service inspection of critical components and welds with PMI can prevent breakdown and its costly consequences.

Ensure the integrity of your pipelines and critical process equipment

When it comes to Positive Material Identification (PMI), AL-ASAS offers PMI testing services through experienced, trained personnel who can assure quality of service and provide a fast, easy and completely non-destructive analysis method for every metal component: Handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers

Whatever industry you are in, alloy component reliability, traceability, and safety are of the utmost importance. Whether you are testing small solder joints on circuit boards or miles of pipeline in a petrochemical refinery.

PMI can:

 Ensure Your Material Conforms to the Proper Specifications

 Ensure products/components have been manufactured using the correct alloy

 Find potentially mixed-up alloys

 Identify if the wrong material has been used

 Ensure material conforms to the correct standard and specification (both customer and industry)

 Ensure welded components have used the correct filler material

 Highly specific and accurate results, essential to good quality control
