Don't Trust Mill Certifications
When you're not sure, you need to have your material positively identified. That's what we do. Positive material identification can mean the difference between safe operations and devastating mishaps.


Positive Material Identification (PMI) is the analysis of a metallic alloy to establish composition by reading the quantities by percentage of its constituent elements. Typical methods for PMI include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and optical emission spectrometry (OES).
Make sure you are getting what you paid for
In today's global materials market, a good sounding deal on stainless steel may not turn out to be a good deal. Human error and outright fraud are facts of the metal fabrication industry. With positive material identification, you can find out if what you paid for is what you got.
Non-invasive x-ray defraction means quick and easy analysis
The method identifies the elements of the material you want to test. Our experienced inspectors can tell you what you need to know without interrupting production.
- Check for replacement part composition
- Precisely measure material composition
- Can be used on hot surfaces to eliminate plant shutdown
