XRF Analysis

PSC (Petro Sadr Corp.) now employs top-tier XRF equipment, backed by a certified Level 2 CGSB inspector and a skilled material and welding engineer who validate the final reports. Our experts, armed with high-performance XRF machines, swiftly pinpoint specific grades of carbon, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys. This technology is especially vital for older materials with uncertain origins or for confirming components in new materials, offering instantaneous reporting through handheld devices. We extend our capabilities to identifying diverse materials, like sludge, through semi-quantitative analysis. Notably, heightened iron content points to upstream corrosion, while the presence of sulphur dioxide indicates biofouling, a key factor in pipe degradation. Our proficiency extends to measuring silicon, and manganese in welds and materials, and even quantifying lead levels in painted surfaces without any impact on the surface itself.


Uses of XRF Analysis:

  • Rapid identification of specific grades of carbon, stainless steels, and aluminum alloys.
  • Verification of components in new materials, ensuring accuracy and quality.
  • Invaluable for older materials with uncertain origins, minimizing risks.
  • Handheld devices enable assessment.
  • Quantifies total lead content in painted surfaces without causing damage.
  • Ensures precise insights without compromising material integrity or structure.
  • The semi-quantitative analysis aids in identifying various materials, like sludge.
  • Detects high iron content, indicating potential upstream corrosion issues.
  • Identifies sulphur dioxide presence, highlighting biofouling and deterioration risks.
  • Measures silicon and manganese in welds and materials for quality assessment.
  • Quantifies total lead content in painted surfaces without causing damage.
  • Ensures precise insights without compromising material integrity or structure.
