Postive Material Identification

When it comes to Positive Material Identification (PMI), Bruker provides a fast, easy and completely non-destructive analysis method for every metal component. Within the petrochemical industry, that can apply to everything from a single component up to miles of pipeline. This is particularly important in an industry where many ‘extraordinary’ events have been traced to the installation of the wrong metals, which then leads to faster corrosion rates, or directly to an outage or explosion.

Exactly the same principle applies in the fabrication process, where alloy verification is a required part of Quality Assurance. 100% alloy verification is now a common part of ISO9000 certification for many fabricators. This is especially the case when the parts in question are designed for use in petrochemical applications, or other industries that requires high temperature and pressure. Getting the verification right at an early stage prevents any possibility of a costly alloy mix-up, dramatically reducing scrap and improving product quality.
