Chemical Composition Testing (Positive Material Identification – PMI)
At Tanqeb, we offer Chemical Composition Testing, also known as Positive Material Identification (PMI), to ensure the quality, safety, and compliance of your materials. PMI is a crucial analytical technique used to verify the composition of metal alloys, confirming their chemical properties and suitability for specific applications.
What is PMI?
PMI involves the use of advanced tools, such as handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers or optical emission spectroscopy (OES) equipment, to identify the elemental composition of metals. This test is critical for industries where material integrity and traceability are paramount, such as oil and gas, petrochemical, construction, and manufacturing.
Applications of PMI
PMI is widely used to:
- Confirm material specifications in piping, valves, and fittings.
- Prevent material mix-ups during construction or repairs.
- Ensure compliance with industry codes, standards, and regulations.
- Verify welds and base materials in critical infrastructure.
- Identify materials for recycling or sorting purposes.
Advantages of PMI
- Accuracy: Provides precise and reliable identification of metal alloys.
- Efficiency: Rapid testing with minimal downtime.
- Non-Destructive: Does not damage the material being tested.
- On-Site Capability: Portable equipment enables testing at your location.
- Compliance Assurance: Verifies adherence to international standards.
