PMI Material Testing Services
“Your Trusted Partner for PMI Material Testing Services in India – Kiyo R&D Lab”
Introduction
In critical industries—like oil & gas, power generation, construction, automotive, and aerospace—using the right alloy is non-negotiable. A single mix-up can lead to costly failures, downtime, and safety risks. PMI (Positive Material Identification) prevents these issues by confirming the exact chemical composition of metals and alloys before they go into service.
What Is PMI (Positive Material Identification)?
PMI is a rapid, mostly non-destructive technique that identifies the elemental composition of a metal. It verifies whether a component is the specified grade (e.g., 304 vs 316 stainless steel, Inconel, Duplex, etc.).
Common PMI Technologies
- XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence): Non-destructive, quick grade verification on-site or in-lab.
- OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy): High precision; detects light elements (e.g., C) with excellent sensitivity.
PMI Helps You
- Confirm incoming material certificates
- Prevent material mix-ups on the shop floor
- Validate repairs, welds, and retrofits
- Pass customer and third-party audits
PMI Material Testing Services in India – Kiyo R&D Lab
At Kiyo R&D Lab, we provide end-to-end PMI solutions for metals and alloys—covering incoming inspection, in-process checks, and final verification. Whether you need lab-based analysis or on-site screening, our team delivers reliable results with quick turnaround.
Who We Serve
- Manufacturers & Fabricators
- Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, and Power Plants
- EPC Contractors & QA/QC Teams
- Automotive & Aerospace Suppliers
- Universities, R&D Labs, and Final-Year Projects
How Our PMI Process Works
- Scope & Standards: We confirm your specification (ASTM/ASME/ISO/BIS) and acceptance criteria.
- Method Selection: Choose XRF for rapid grade ID or OES for high-accuracy element analysis.
- Preparation: Light surface cleaning or polishing for repeatable readings (especially for OES).
- Measurement: Multiple readings taken across the part, weld, or heat lot to avoid bias.
- Validation: Results compared with grade limits and MTCs (mill test certificates).
- Reporting: Clear, action-oriented report with composition, grade callout, pass/fail, and notes.
Need on-site PMI for shutdowns or audits? Ask about our rapid deployment and shift coverage.
