PMI Test

Positive material identification (PMI) is used to analyse and identify material grade and alloy composition for quality and safety control. A rapid, non-destructive method, positive material identification is performed on a wide range of components and assets, and provides a semi-quantitative chemical analysis. PMI machines are highly accurate at determining the chemical composition of alloys, and thereby their grade as well as their solder composition. Moreover, they do so within a matter of 5 seconds or less for most stainless steel grades, without any need for sample preparation.
