Alloy Analysis using Handheld XRF
Positive Material Identification (PMI) Testguns
When it comes to Positive Material Identification (PMI), Bruker provides a fast, easy and completely non-destructive analysis method for every metal component: XRF PMI guns, also called handheld alloy analyzers. Whatever industry you are in, alloy component reliability, traceability, and safety are of the utmost importance. Whether you are testing small solder joints on aircraft circuit boards or miles of pipeline in a petrochemical refinery, a 100% positive material identification and verification program can eliminate costly alloy mix-ups, improve product quality, and prevent injuries or even loss-of-life.
Bruker’s XRF PMI analyzers offer the state of the art in metal alloy composition analysis. 100% portable and non-destructive, Bruker PMI equipment can be used anywhere, whether on the metal fab floor, at the receiving dock, or to test in-service components.
