Portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a method of positive material identification (PMI) which is a nondestructive semi-quantitative method that determines the chemical composition of a material. History shows numerous industrial incidents have occurred as a result of inadvertent substitution of materials in piping systems, fittings, flanges, gaskets, bolting materials and other components. PMI techniques can be implemented as a stand-alone program or as part of an API 578 Program to identify potentially rogue materials in high-risk systems to prevent catastrophic failures.
