Positive Material Identification (PMI) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the chemical composition and alloy grade of materials. It is crucial for ensuring material integrity, quality control, and compliance with industry standards across various sectors. PMI plays a vital role in verifying that materials used in manufacturing, construction, and other industrial processes meet the required specifications. By doing so, it helps prevent potential failures and ensures safety and reliability.
Non-Destructive Testing
One of the key benefits of PMI is its non-destructive approach. This ensures that the material being tested remains unaltered, maintaining its original integrity and enabling it to be used or analyzed further without any compromise.
Quick and Accurate Results
PMI techniques deliver rapid and highly accurate results, which are vital for quality control and safety across numerous industries. Their speed and precision enable swift, informed decision-making, thereby minimizing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency.
Versatility
PMI can be applied to a diverse array of materials, such as metals, alloys, and certain non-metallic substances. This broad applicability renders it an invaluable tool across various industries, ranging from aerospace to environmental analysis.
Cost-Effectiveness
By verifying material integrity and preventing failures, PMI minimizes the need for expensive repairs and replacements. This cost-saving benefit is especially critical in industries where material failure can lead to significant financial losses and pose serious safety risks.
At CD BioSciences, we offer comprehensive PMI services tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. Our services are designed to provide accurate, reliable, and rapid material identification, ensuring that your materials meet the highest standards of quality and safety.
Laboratory Analysis
For more detailed and comprehensive analysis, we offer laboratory-based PMI services using advanced OES equipment. This method provides highly accurate and quantitative data on material composition.
X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)
We utilize advanced XRF technology for quick and accurate material analysis. Our XRF devices are capable of analyzing a wide range of materials, including metals and alloys, providing reliable results without damaging the material.
Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES)
Our OES technology offers high accuracy and is suitable for analyzing a broad spectrum of elements, including light elements like carbon and sulfur. This technology is ideal for detailed material analysis and quality control.
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)
We employ LIBS technology for rapid analysis with minimal sample preparation. Our LIBS devices are effective for both metallic and non-metallic materials, making them a versatile tool for PMI.
