At QUALITY CONCEPT Welding Solution Private Limited*, we offer accurate and reliable Positive Material Identification (PMI) services to verify the chemical composition of metals and alloys. Using advanced technologies like XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) and OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy), our certified inspectors ensure materials meet required specifications and standards such as ASME, ASTM, and ISO. PMI helps prevent material mix-ups, ensures quality control, and supports compliance in critical applications

Positive Material Identification (PMI) Services – Fast, Accurate Alloy Verification

Positive Material Identification (PMI) is a fast, reliable, and essential non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to determine the exact chemical composition of metals and alloys. At Quality Concept Welding Solutions Pvt. Ltd., we offer advanced PMI services using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) analyzers to ensure the right materials are used in critical applications — where even small material mismatches can cause severe failures or regulatory non-compliance.

What is Positive Material Identification?

PMI utilizes portable, field-ready analyzers to instantly verify elemental composition, including chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), aluminum (Al), and others. This non-destructive testing prevents costly rework, delays, and shutdowns by ensuring material conformity before and after fabrication or during maintenance.

Applications of Positive Material Identification

• Incoming Material Inspection: Confirm supplied materials match purchase order specifications.
• Welding & Fabrication QA/QC: Verify filler metals, base materials, and pipe spools before or after welding.
• Plant Shutdown & Maintenance: Validate in-service components during overhauls and replacements.
• Pressure Equipment & Pipelines: Ensure heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy grades in boilers, reactors, and pipelines.
• Third-Party Certification Support: Assist in customer/vendor audits and compliance documentation.

Key Benefits of Positive Material Identification

• Non-Destructive & Immediate: Provides fast and accurate material verification without damaging parts.
• Avoids Alloy Mix-Ups: Prevents use of incorrect materials in critical pressure and safety systems.
• Standards Compliance: Ensures adherence to ASME, API, ISO, and ASTM codes.
• Portable Testing: Available on-site at factories, fabrication yards, plants, and project locations.
• Material Traceability: Supports validation of 3.1/3.2 material certifications with documented results.
• Enhanced Safety & Reliability: Boosts confidence in material integrity and regulatory compliance.
