Easy, accurate PMI
September 1st 2009

PMI (Positive Material Identification) is said to be the most effective way to ensure that safetycritical components installed on process plants are to the correct specification. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the USA has identified thirty two fatality/catastrophe incidents over a fifteen year period, in the petrolium refining industry alone. Many of these incidents, which resulted in over fifty deaths and 250 injuries occured as a direct result of the use of incorrect alloy material in a critical process component. The latest hand held XRF analysers from Niton make inspection of complete systems and individual parts faster, safer and more accurate.

The newly introduced Niton GOLDD handheld XRF analysers are compact and lightweight allowing operators and inspectors to use them in almost all situations, including when working at height or similar.

Niton is to hold seminars on the use of handheld XRF analysers in PMI testing and the guidelines and procedures from the API (American Petroleum Institute) RP-578 standard at a number of locations in the UK throughout Octobber.
