Oil & Wear Debris Analysis
Oil analysis can be done at lab and samples to be provided by Maintenance. Ferrography determines the condition of the machine by detecting and measuring the concentrations and size of wear particles without any size limitation. Ferrography concentrates on particles that carry definite information about the condition of the wearing components
Viscosity at 40 & 1000 C, TAN / TBN, NAS values, Moisture content, Ferrous Index etViscosity at 40 & 1000 C, TAN / TBN, NAS values, Moisture content, Ferrous Index etc
The following types of Particle Classifications & Types of Wear shall be detected:
- Normal Rubbing Wear
- Cutting Wear
- Bearing Wear
- Severe Sliding Wear
- Gear Wear

- Spheres
- Sand/dirt, Fibers, Friction Polymers, Organic Material
- Ferrous: Magnetic, Paramagnetic; Fe, Fe₂O₃, Fe₃O₄, Stainless
- Non-Ferrous: Copper alloys, Aluminum, Babbitted metals, Zinc, Chrome, etc.
- Contaminant: Fluids; Dust; Dirt; External process debris; Filter material; Friction polymers; Organic matter
