X-ray fluorescence (XRF) has extensive applications in the inspection services market. It is fundamental for positive material identification (PMI) for in-the-field and plant maintenance. This talk explores the basics of XRF theory, and the application of XRF for positive material identification (PMI) and weld inspection. Special attention is given to relevant applications of this technology in the oil and gas (O&G) sector. Testing methods, sample considerations, and strategies and tools for data management are discussed.
