| Positive Material Identification

Positive Material Identification, or PMI, is an integral part of process safety management within Spectra Asset Integrity Management. Whether the need is quality control, sorting of scrap material, or even failure analysis, materials testing to provide verification of metal alloy grade.

Spectra Asset Integrity Management can offer a comprehensive PMI service either at our Test house or on site at Clients premises. All results are instant and computerised reports are produced at the time of testing. All our operators are highly experienced in their field and our clients can feel safe knowing that the equipment used and the operator conducting the job has the necessary knowledge and understanding.

We utilise the latest X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysers which is one of the quickest and most comprehensive methods for Positive Material Identification where low-level radiation is fired at the material and the energy levels reflected back from each element is measured, so identifying the alloy elements.

Positive material identification can prevent potential product failure in manufacturing. At oil and gas, power generation and pharmaceutical plants, pre-service and in-service inspection of critical components and welds with PMI can prevent breakdown and its costly consequences.
