Positive material identification (PMI)

Positive material identification (PMI)

Positive Material Identification (PMI) Control allows for the control of all major alloying elements of the material, of ferrous and nonferrous materials. This type of nondestructive testing does not compromise or damage the material being examined.

SME CONTROL.
Positive material identification

Chemical material analysis involving the detection of alloying chemical elements of ferrous and nonferrous materials. You will always be able to know what your alloy is composed of with pinpoint accuracy of the elements and their percentage.

FBR Control has always been able to detect the percentage of Carbon and/or the elements to be investigated, thanks to the great experience and training of the technicians and the high-generation and high-precision technology it provides.

Today even more so, thanks to a new instrumentation, a portable, lightweight, compact high-precision analyzer-compliant with API RP 578 (2021), we will be able to investigate the required elements with greater speed, in seconds detect carbon, silicon and metal alloys; high precision, and then we will be able to investigate small details, and there are no longer limits to the places where it can be used; in fact, you will be able to have access to the most confined spaces, to those small areas that were previously difficult to reach, such as: internal welds to buried, semi-buried pipelines, all areas with limited access.

Chemical analysis with search for CARBON AND NOT ONLY! we measure carbon in steels, stainless steels and other alloys (metallographic analysis). We can measure carbon as well as other metals including Cr, Ni, Cu, and many more. Laser induced plasma spectroscopy, one of the most advanced spectroscopic techniques, is optimal for measuring critical alloy elements such as Mg, Si, Li (Lithium), Be (Beryllium), B (Boron), Cr, Mn, Cu and others heavy or transition metals. Lithium, boron, beryllium in aluminum alloys. We can perform both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

One of the advantages and convenience is the use of the sample without the need for pretreatment.

ALLOYS, CARBON, CARBON EQUIVALENT, ALSO FOR L-GRADE AND H-GRADE STAINLESS STEELS

CORROSION BY SULFIDATION

In as little as 3 seconds, we can measure even minute percentages of silicon (as low as 0.02%) for the purpose of sulfidation corrosion control. It is used in major refineries.

CR FOR FLOW ACCELERATED CORROSION (FAC)

We can measure amounts of chromium less than 0.03% in very few seconds, without the need to employ X-ray sources.

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS FOR ALLOYS

We also measure the elements that X-rays cannot detect: Li, Be, B and Na. Many special alloys are characterized by the presence of low atomic number elements, which are not detectable using a portable X-ray analyzer.
