Monitoring Wear Debris (Ferrography) Analysis | Maintain Equipment & Reduce Downtime

Wear Debris Analysis (Analytical Ferrography) is a method of predicting the health of equipment in a non-intrusive manner by studying the wear particles present in the lubricating oil. The continuous trending of wear rate monitors the performance of machine components and provides early warning and diagnosis of worn parts.  This technique can diagnose active machine wear earlier than using vibration techniques, enabling the replacement of key components before any serious damage occurs. Therefore, production can be maintained, machinery life extended and the return on capital investment increased.
