PMI Guns

Fast, on-site material verification with handheld PMI gun

Identify Metals in Seconds with the Handheld PMI (Positive Material Identification) Guns

Reliable alloy verification is essential for preventing material mix-ups, meeting engineering specifications and maintaining traceability across fabrication, welding, inspection and recycling workflows. Handheld PMI guns allow technicians to identify alloy grades and elemental chemistry within seconds, supporting safe, compliant decision-making in the field or lab.

Labquip NDT supplies Bruker S1 TITAN PMI gun across the UK, providing fast, accurate XRF-based identification for steels, stainless steels, nickel alloys, copper alloys, aluminium, magnesium, zinc-based materials and precious metals. The portable PMI gun deliver stable results on site, in the yard or in the lab, supporting applications such as weld inspection, plant maintenance, scrap sorting and catalytic converter analysis. Results are traceable and repeatable, helping teams maintain QA/QC standards across all stages of production and inspection.

Our technical team provides on-site or virtual demonstrations, helping you evaluate PMI performance on your own materials. All calibration and configuration is carried out in-house by manufacturer-trained service engineers, ensuring every PMI gun is performance-checked and ready for routine use.
