Positive Material identification (PMI) is a fast and non-destructive method for checking the chemical composition of metals and alloys. PMI uses a small, portable machine that generates immediate results, so it can be performed in one of our labs, or in the field.
Positive material identification is a cost-effective method for confirming general material types. While not as thorough as other test types, PMI is a great option for confirming the alloy or type of large batches of material, testing finished components, re-certifying materials, and evaluating materials that cannot be destroyed, or shipped to a lab.
