In today’s precision-driven manufacturing landscape, ensuring the correct composition and grade of metals is critical. At Krishna Metallurgical Laboratories, based in Gurgaon, India, we provide XRF PMI gun testing services with the same standards, processes, and expertise expected of NABL-accredited laboratories.
With over a decade of experience and a reputation built on quality, trust, and technical proficiency, our lab has become the go-to choice for OEMs, EPC contractors, and manufacturers across India looking for fast, reliable, and certified material testing.
What is XRF PMI Gun Testing?
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) Positive Material Identification (PMI) is a fast, non-destructive method for identifying the exact elemental composition of metals and alloys. It plays a crucial role in:
- Verifying raw material authenticity
- Ensuring compliance with material specifications
- Preventing product recalls and production delays
Using handheld XRF analyzers (PMI guns), the process is conducted either on-site or in-house, offering rapid and accurate insights within seconds.
Why Industrial Clients Need XRF PMI Testing
1. Risk Prevention in Manufacturing
Using incorrect metal grades can result in catastrophic failures, expensive rework, and non-compliance. PMI testing ensures that only the correct materials enter production.
2. Compliance with Industry Standards
PMI testing helps ensure alignment with global material standards like ASTM, ASME, ISO, and DIN—boosting confidence in your quality systems.
3. Detecting Material Mix-ups
In warehouses or during procurement, metal parts with similar appearances often get mixed up. XRF PMI testing helps instantly identify and segregate alloys, preventing costly mistakes in fabrication or delivery.
4. Vendor Quality Verification
PMI testing provides assurance that supplied materials meet purchase specifications—even if the vendor lacks internal testing capabilities.
