Description
This ASTM A182 F22 Alloy Steel Certified Reference Material (CRM) is designed for verifying the accuracy and performance of handheld XRF analyzers, optical emission spectrometers (OES), and other elemental analysis instruments. Featuring a certified chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) low-alloy steel composition, this reference material supports positive material identification (PMI), alloy verification, quality control, and laboratory testing.
Ideal for industrial inspection companies, pressure vessel manufacturers, piping fabricators, refineries, power generation facilities, and testing laboratories, this CRM provides a reliable reference for verifying alloy chemistry, checking instrument performance, and supporting material traceability requirements.
Common Applications
-
Handheld XRF Verification: Check analyzer performance using known concentrations of chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), and other detectable alloying elements.
-
Positive Material Identification (PMI): Support verification of F22 alloy steel in pressure vessels, piping systems, flanges, valves, and industrial components.
-
Chrome-Moly Steel Sorting: Verify instrument response when distinguishing F22 from other chromium-molybdenum steel grades, including F11, F5, and F9.
-
Manufacturing QA/QC: Perform routine instrument verification during incoming material inspection, fabrication, welding operations, and final quality control.
-
Petrochemical & Power Generation Inspection: Support alloy identification programs for equipment used in elevated-temperature and high-pressure environments.
-
Laboratory Analysis: Use as a reference material for compatible XRF, spark-OES, and other elemental analysis methods.
