1. Introduction
 This procedure specifies the process of carrying out PMI for identification of grade
of alloy steel materials using XRF analyzer.
2. Scope
 To carry out Positive material identification using X-ray Fluorescent (XRF)
technology. It is to measure the concentration of elements without causing any
damage to the component being examined.
 Equipment used for doing PMI is Delta Professional Analyzer DPO 2000 having
Sr.no.540915
3. Reference documents
 User manual of Delta Family: Handheld XRF Analyzer DPO 2000
 Reference material part number 100039 standard coin is used to verify the
performance of XRF Analyzer.
4. Equipment
 The equipment used is XRF Analyzer DPO 2000 for verification of elements
composition in various types of materials. The instrument is a fully portable
analyzer with an integrated display to view spectra and save data.
 This equipment can measure the following elements
5. Surface preparation
 The surface shall be free from oil, dirt, paint, scale etc. that affects the result.
Usually a light grinding or power brush is sufficient in probe seating area if not
bare metal.
6. Testing procedure
 Instrument Calibration
 Prior to analysis, the Instrument shall be calibrated to a known standard
reference and representative to the alloy type to be tested and confirmed.
Various standard reference alloy composition is provided by the equipment
manufacturer.
 Instrument Operation Turn
 “ON” the instrument
 Select Analyze on the Main Menu screen
 Input Data

7. Measurements
 Place probe on the material / sample to be tested and press the trigger keeping
the probe on the sample / material during the entire measurement.
 The measurement on the test / sample will indicate with the time and the elapsed
measurement time on completion of the analyzing of the test item.
 The display will indicate the composition on each element in percentage with
deviation and also the common alloy detected, i.e. 316/ 304/ etc. Measurements
will be stored in the Instrument memory. Stored measurement data can be
printed for evaluation and reporting.

8. Traceability
 Item tested should be identified and indicated in test report.
9. Acceptance criteria
 The minimum elements to be tested for each type of alloy shall be as per material
reference specification.
 The element shall meet the requirement of applicable material specification to
determine acceptance.
 Deviation allowed: AS per ASME 2011a SECTION I / ASME BPVC I.2015 B-8.2 &
ASME BPVC B-8.4.1
10. Reporting
 Standard inspection report format. See attached appendix I.
