XRF Material Analysis

Portable PMI with handheld XRF to confirm alloy grade and prevent material mix-ups before fabrication, repair, or startup.

POSITIVE MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION FOR ASSET INTEGRITY

Material mix-ups during fabrication or maintenance can lead to catastrophic failures in high-temperature or corrosive service. Our XRF analysis services provide rapid, non-destructive verification that the correct alloy is installed in critical systems.

We deploy handheld XRF analyzers that deliver laboratory-grade composition readings in seconds, enabling real-time decisions during construction, maintenance, and failure investigations. Our technicians are trained to interpret results in the context of your specific service conditions and code requirements.

Our PMI programs support commissioning activities, routine maintenance, and root cause investigations. We maintain detailed records that link material composition to heat numbers, weld procedures, and installation locations, providing complete traceability for your quality management systems.

SERVICES & CAPABILITIES

Positive Material Identification

We verify incoming materials, weld filler metals, and existing systems to ensure the specified alloy is installed where corrosion and temperature resistance matter most.

  • API 578 compliant procedures
  • Immediate confirmation of Cr, Ni, Mo content
  • Supports RBI, CML programs, and turnarounds

Failure Investigation & Documentation

When failures occur, composition analysis confirms whether material substitution occurred. We pair XRF readings with photographic evidence and chain-of-custody logs.

  • Supports root cause analysis
  • Heat number reconciliation and tagging
  • Integration with digital asset systems
HOW WE PARTNER

Our inspectors travel with calibrated analyzers so fabrication, maintenance, and operations teams have immediate material verification anywhere in the facility.

We integrate our PMI programs with your existing quality control processes, ensuring that material verification occurs at the right points in your workflow. Our reports are formatted to support your documentation requirements, whether for code compliance, insurance reviews, or internal quality audits.

When material discrepancies are identified, we work with your engineering and procurement teams to determine the appropriate corrective actions. We provide clear, technical documentation that supports decisions about material replacement, design modifications, or acceptance based on fitness-for-service assessments.
