Labtech Inspections optical emission spectrometry (oes)

Services: PMI Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES)

NDT Services: Positive Material Identification

Positive Material Identification (PMI) is the detection of materials through non-destructive element spectrometry in samples of alloys, steel, and metals.

Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) is an optical method that is used to detect most types of elements in metals.

We rely on XRF testing to help our clients avoid potentially costly malfunctions and ensure the incoming material is compliant. and devastating effects that can happen if the material being used isn’t up to industry standard. With our help, Labtech Inspections can test samples for their composition makeup, which is crucial for systems to run efficiently.

Let Labtech Inspections test your metals, alloys, and steel to ensure the composition is durable and able to with stand strain and usage.

What can Labtech Inspections do for you?

Labtech Inspections was contacted by an energy construction company that was building a power plant in Midland Odessa Texas.

The construction company’s quality control department failed to keep traceability records of all the different heat numbers and material grades that were used throughout the project. At the time when the construction company was turning in the project it was rejected by the energy company for failure to keep traceability records.

The energy company required all of the materials that were used in the project to be verified by OES PMI inspection. Labtech inspections spent several months at the energy plant testing and sorting out all of the different materials used. Labtech was able to provide a PMI report with all the necessary material chemistry information to satisfy the clients needs in lue of the lost MTR’s (material test reports).
