positive material identification
Positive Material Identification (PMI) - Tracer Turbo uses X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technique for quick and completely Non-destructive analysis method for every metal component. This can apply to everything from a single component up to miles of pipeline. This is particularly important in an industry where many extraordinary events have been traced to the installation of the wrong metals, which then leads to faster corrosion rates, or directly to an outage or explosion.
Exactly the same principle applies in the fabrication process, where alloy verification is a required part of Quality Assurance. 100% alloy verification is now a common part of ISO9000 certification for many fabricators. This is especially the case when the parts in question are designed for use in industries that requires high temperature and pressure. Getting the verification right at an early stage prevents any possibility of a costly alloy mix-up, dramatically reducing scrap and improving product quality.

news at wis
WIS have implemented and are now accredited to the following: EN ISO 9001:2015, EN ISO 14001:2015 and EN ISO 45001:2018.
WIS have attended courses and examinations at QSA-Global in Houston, Texas and now have technicians trained and qualified in Servicing & Maintenance of the QSA-Global equipment. WIS also have technicians trained and qualified in Source Retrieval, this entailed the actual retrieval of a live source, which other companies providing this service do not carry out. WIS intend to roll out these services to NDT Contractors nationwide.
