Since July 1 2020, pipeline operators in the USA must routinely check the condition of pipes, valves and flanges. The checks will rely heavily on positive material identification (PMI) principles.
To comply, you need to be able to perform a comprehensive and reliable analysis of steels and calculate the carbon equivalence (CE) accurately. To do this, you need accurate analysis of S, P, Ni, Cr, Mn, Si, Ti and V, as well as ability to analyze refractory elements, which are typically very challenging for LIBS due to high hardness and melting points: Mo, Nb, TA, Hf and W. There’s also a growing interest in low concentration of B in steels below 10ppm.
