1.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to describe testing method for qualitative and
quantitative analysis of ferrous and non ferrous materials using x-ray fluorescence.

The testing is to ensure that the materials or parts are properly identified to their alloy
type and marked according Client Project requirements.

2.0 REFERENCE DOCUMENTS

1. ASME II Materials – Part A/B/C

2. Applicable Client Project Specification
3. Other applicable reference codes and standards (ASTM, AISI, BS, etc)
4. S1 TITAN SP User Manual

3.0 PERSONNEL

All PMI inspectors shall be qualified for the work to be performed.

Qualification shall be documented and shall cover:

 Ability to operate the instrument.
 Ability to recognise the instrument's limitations in terms of material, surface
profile and working conditions.
 Ability to interpret the instrument's output and recognise erroneous readings.

4.0 EQUIPMENT

Equipment used XRF (X-Ray Flourencence) Method are detecting and verifying
element composition : Sb, Sn, Pd, Ag, Al, Mo, Nb,Zr, Bi, Pb, Se, Zn, W, Zn, Cu, Ni,
Co, Fe, Mn, Cr, V, Ti, except for light element composition ; Carbon (C), Phosphorus
(P), Silicon (Si) and Sulphur (S) can not detected.

5.0 CALIBRATION

Calibration ( check sample ) of the analyser shall be conducted refer to equipment

operational procedure. Calibration certificate shall be available for Client’s
representative verification.

6.0 SURFACE PREPARATION

Material surface shall be free from any foreign material (paint, coating etc.) that
would hinder accurate test results.

Any preparation with wire brush and grinding disc shall be done with care and
suitable brush/disc as to avoid contamination.

* Note : - Light Element (C, S, P, Si, Mg) can not identify by x-ray fluorescence method
- Others material and element to be analysed refer to client requirement and limitation of XRF
equipment

9.0 SEGREGATION OF ITEMS

Rejected items shall be segregated at designated reject area away from other
materials/activities and clearly marked.

Materials selected for testing shall be placed at designated inspection area and
properly arranged to allow easy access for testing of individual items.

After acceptance, all pieces shall be immediately marked and segregated from
materials awaiting testing.

Page 3 of 7
10.0 MARKING REQUIREMENTS

Each piece/part/point analysed shall be marked. Type of marker depend on client

requirements. Simple marker with metal marker or special marker such as “PMIV”
(Positive Material Identification Verified) letters.

11.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

 ASME Section II A/B/C

 Client Specification

12.0 SAFETY

All PMI personnel shall be wear minimum PPE and work under company safety
procedure.

13.0 REPORTING

Minimum content of reporting format shall be describe of information regarding part

of inspected, date of inspection, name of inspector, drawing/photo, element content
and acceptance/rejection.

See Appendix A for sample of reporting format.
