PMI (Positive Material Indentification) Test
Positive Material Identification (PMI) is a fast, non-destructive technique that provides a semi-quantitative chemical analysis of various components and assets, used for both material verification and identification. This method is crucial across numerous industries, including oil and gas, power, chemical, pharmaceutical, nuclear, aerospace, and fabrication, for production, asset integrity management, quality control, and safety compliance.
Accurate material identification through PMI helps prevent potential product failures in manufacturing. Conducting pre-service and in-service PMI inspections on critical components and welds in oil and gas, power generation, and pharmaceutical facilities can prevent costly breakdowns and ensure operational reliability.
We at Sukhakartatechengg offer professional non-destructive testing services as well as ultrasonic testing services in pune . Our cutting-edge methods guarantee precise fault identification in materials, providing non-invasive solutions that preserve the integrity of your assets and adhere to strict industry requirements.
PMI can:
- Verify that the right alloy was utilized to make the components or goods.
- Look for any improper or mixed alloys.
- Make sure the material satisfies the industry's and the customer's necessary norms and criteria.
- Check to make sure the right filler was used when welding components.
Positive material identification (PMI) is conducted using two primary techniques:
- The most popular approach for on-site PMI is this portable handheld gadget, which enables the business to do testing at clients' sites. Metal is scanned to determine its essential components. However, it is not suited for distinguishing pure carbon steel products or certain lighter components.
- This method is perfect for identifying carbon steel since it can identify almost any element, including carbon and lighter elements. With the appropriate lifting mechanisms, the equipment may be utilized at high elevations and transferred to places, despite being less portable than XRF.
- Proficient PMI inspectors deliver instantaneous outcomes that are certified in a report. The business provides fully quantitative laboratory techniques if more analysis is needed. The short turnaround times guarantee that the manufacturing or inspection schedules are followed.
