FERROGRAPHY

Ferrography (Wear Particle Analysis)
Wear particle analysis is a powerful technique for non-intrusive examination of oil-wetted parts of a machine. The particles contained in the lubricant carry detailed and important information about the condition of the machine.  

This information may be deduced from particle shape, composition, size distribution, and concentration. The particle characteristics are sufficiently specific so that the operating wear modes within the machine may be determined, allowing prediction of the imminent behavior of the machine.

Ferrographic analysis  prevents catastrophic equipment failure through timely and accurate prediction of abnormal or critical machine wear.  PREDICT condition monitoring services saves you time and money by:

• Identifying lubricant contamination problems before costly damages occur
• Helping maintenance personnel monitor component deterioration to get maximum use out of a wearing component without risking secondary damage
• Predicting potential failure earlier, so maintenance personnel can schedule timely repairs without negatively impacting production schedules
• Reducing parts inventory requirements and routine preventative overhauls through early predictions of wear that accurately identify wearing components
