Frequently Asked Questions (Chennai Region)

Can handheld XRF analyzers measure carbon content in 316L or 304L stainless steel?

No, XRF cannot detect light elements like Carbon. For low-carbon grade verification (316L vs 316) or carbon steel weldability checks (Carbon Equivalent CE), we deploy our Mobile Optical Emission Spectrometer (OES) with spark argon shielding. Our teams serve facilities across Chennai, Chennai & Suburban Districts with Same-day Mobilization (< 2 hours).

How fast can PMI testing be completed on site?

Handheld XRF delivers alloy grade identification in 3 to 5 seconds per component, enabling verification of hundreds of valves, fittings, or weld joints per shift. Our teams serve facilities across Chennai, Chennai & Suburban Districts with Same-day Mobilization (< 2 hours).
