Positive Material Identification (PMI) in Hyderabad | Metallurgical Engineering & Materials Testing

Q: Can handheld XRF analyzers measure carbon content in 316L or 304L stainless steel? (Hyderabad services)

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. We serve all industrial areas across Hyderabad, Hyderabad & Medchal Districts, Telangana.

Q: How fast can PMI testing be completed on site? (Hyderabad services)

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. We serve all industrial areas across Hyderabad, Hyderabad & Medchal Districts, Telangana.
