Alloy Analysis with a PMI Gun

In safety critical industries such as aerospace, oil and gas, power generation, chemical processing, and metal fabrication, the use of an incorrect alloy can lead to premature corrosion, mechanical failure, or, in severe cases, catastrophic incidents.

Incoming materials, welds, and installed components therefore need to be verified quickly and reliably against specifications. XRF analysis is fast, non-destructive and can be performed using a handheld device, making it a powerful solution for any industry that must perform PMI. 

The implementation of a consistent PMI program helps reduce the risk of alloy mix‑ups, supports traceability, and contributes to safe and reliable operation.

The TITAN XRF gun for PMI is an advanced solution for fast and accurate alloy identification, housed in a robust shell built to withstand all-day use in industrial environments. 

Fast Non-Destructive Alloy Identification  

TITAN supports fast, non‑destructive alloy analysis directly at the point of inspection, enabling reliable verification of metal components without cutting, grinding, or laboratory testing.

Reliable PMI for Every Operator

Designed for routine industrial use, TITAN combines intuitive, guided workflows with accurate, matrix‑matched calibrations to support confident identification of alloy grades, including light and trace elements, even when operated by non‑specialists.

Integrated documentation and camera‑assisted sample recording streamline workflows in large‑scale PMI operations.

Engineered for the Factory Floor

A robust, water and dust-resistant housing and detector shield enables the TITAN to perform consistently in harsh environments, helping maximize machine uptime and maintain efficient PMI workflows.

During maintenance activities in chemical plants, refinery turnarounds, and offshore installations, technicians must verify the alloy grades of piping, flanges, and welds to ensure compliance with material specifications.

The use of a PMI gun like TITAN facilitates on-site alloy verification without the need for cutting, grinding, or removing components from service. TITAN rapidly identifies alloy grades and reports key elemental concentrations, including chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, enabling direct verification against specifications for corrosion resistance and high‑temperature performance.

This immediate, non‑destructive alloy analysis helps prevent the installation or reuse of incorrect or mixed materials, such as the use of low‑alloy steels in high‑temperature zones, reducing the risk of premature failure, unplanned downtime, and rework.

With its robust design, intuitive operation, and alloy‑specific calibrations, TITAN is an excellent PMI gun for routine inspections in production, maintenance, and quality control environments, even under demanding industrial conditions.
