METHODOLOGY PMI at site shall be carried out with the help of X- Ray base self calibrated alloy analyzer / or equivalent. Calibration shall be done at site with the help of standard piece supplied with the analyzer. The surface of the component subjected to PMI shall be reasonably clean. All stainless steel and alloy steel material and weld joint as detailed in the scope of this procedure shall be subjected to PMI, before leak test clearance of line / Piping system. If the component fails to comply with the requirement of characteristic alloying element as specified in relevant code / specification, it shall be stored separately with rejection mark properly stamped / marked on it, until final disposition.
