At Inspectahire, we specialise in providing advanced materials analysis technologies, including conventional PMI (Positive Material Identification) testing and the more advanced Spark PMI testing. Whether you need to verify material compositions for safety, compliance, or quality control, our cutting-edge solutions are designed to meet the exacting demands of today’s industries.

Here are four key challenges that PMI and spark PMI testing can address, along with the differences between them:

  1. Material verification: ensuring that materials meet the required specifications and quality standards for safety and performance.

  2. Detection of alloy mix-ups: identifying potential mix-ups in alloys, which could lead to failure or costly rework.

  3. Non-destructive testing: performing accurate material identification without damaging or compromising the components being tested.

  4. In-depth elemental analysis: Spark PMI testing provides deeper insights into a broader range of elements, making it ideal for more complex materials. Most importantly Spark PMI allows you to measure carbon content of materials which conventional PMI is unable to achieve.

Over the next few weeks we will explore each of these challenges in detail and explain how our PMI and spark PMI technologies can provide solutions to meet your needs.
