effective mobile testing possible. When we leave the job you will have
peace of mind…knowing the job was done with precision and accuracy.
What Is PMI And What Can It Tell You?
PMI
or Positive Material Identification is the evaluation of a part’s
elemental and physical characteristics. PMI can tell you what the
grade, elemental breakdown, and the strength of the material is. PMI
testing ensures traceability of components from manufacturing to final
assembly.
When Do You Need PMI?
You
need PMI to prevent mistakes, reduce liability, ensure quality and
guarantee safety. When you need to know what material was used, what
weld material to use, what Carbon Steel grade you are repairing, or
what the old parts that failed were made of.
Why Do You Need PMI?
To
ensure that the supplier or fabricator used the right material, to find
out why a failure occurred and minimize unplanned outages. According to
OSHA PMI testing & inspection reduces or eliminates workplace
hazards associated with catastrophic release of highly hazardous
chemicals. Studies show that in the Petrochemical & Refinery
facilities almost half of the largest losses are a direct result of
failures in piping systems. PMI testing is not a quality issue…. it’s a
liability issue. Performing PMI ensures that
you comply with
industrial standards, such as API RP-571, API RP-578 and API RP-939-C.
Is PMI All That Your Company Does?
No,
we also do on-site Ferrite, hardness, and grain structure testing. We
also have a full scale metallurgical laboratory and a PhD in
Metallurgical Engineering on staff.
