More information about your PMI services in India?

It has been a long established fact that a minor mix-up in the material could result in a major mishap and huge financial losses for the user. In order to prevent this from happening, all quality conscious project managers are increasingly prescribing Positive Material Identification at each stage of plant commissioning. Mix up can be at the vendor’s end, during storage at the user end or at the time of actual fabrication. Thus, if PMI exercise is done at all these levels, a 100% confidence can be built up in as far as material mix-up is concerned.

In view of this requirement of Indian Industry, TCR has pioneered in the field of PMI since 1999. Different types of PMI instruments have been acquired to cater all the needs of industry and today TCR is the most well equipped and experienced organization in India in the field of PMI. Our facilities include the following:-

1. Optical Emission Spectrometer–Model ARCMET 930 Mfg. by METOREX QY FINLAND Calibrated for CS, SS, Al Alloys, Cu Alloys, Co Alloys & Ni Alloys.
2. Portable XRF Spectrometers:-
