Positive Material Identification (PMI)

InCon provides comprehensive Positive Material Identification (PMI) services throughout the UK, helping clients verify material composition quickly, accurately and with complete confidence. Using advanced X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technology, our experienced technicians deliver reliable material verification services both at our dedicated test facility and on-site across a wide range of industries.

With a fleet of five Niton XRF analysers, we are equipped to respond to projects of all sizes, providing fast, accurate and fully traceable results wherever they are required.

Material mix-ups can lead to costly failures, safety concerns and unplanned downtime. As a result, many organisations have implemented stringent PMI programmes as part of their quality assurance and asset integrity strategies. InCon supports these requirements with a fast, efficient and dependable PMI service, providing instant results and computer-generated reports at the time of testing.

Our highly trained and experienced operators combine industry knowledge with state-of-the-art equipment to ensure every result is accurate, reliable and fully representative of the material being tested. Clients can have complete confidence in both the testing process and the data provided.

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) PMI

InCon utilises the latest X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technology, one of the fastest and most effective methods available for Positive Material Identification. The technique works by directing low-level X-rays at a material and measuring the energy emitted by its elemental composition, allowing rapid and accurate identification of alloy grades and constituent elements.

XRF analysis is ideal for a broad range of applications, including:

• Verification of alloy materials and components
• Quality assurance and compliance programmes
• Asset integrity and maintenance inspections
• Precious metal analysis
• Environmental sampling
• RoHS and WEEE compliance testing
• Lead-based paint (Pb) analysis
