Introduction to Ferrography - Spectro Sci.
Analytical Ferrography is a technique for depositing and analysing wear particles contained in an oil or grease sample. The sample is deposited onto a glass slide, with the particles trapped by strong magnets and the oil washed away with a suitable solvent. Both linear and rotary particle deposition systems exist. At STS preference is given to.
Trico is pleased to introduce the new and improved Ferrogram Maker (FM-6). The FM-6 dual slide maker is used in the first step in Analytical Ferrography. For greater productivity, the FM-6 is designed with two independent stations allowing two samples to be prepared concurrently.
Ferrography is one of the important techniques used for wear particle analysis which is divided into two groups direct reading ferrography and analytical ferrography (6).
Analytical Ferrography. Test Oil. Analytical ferrography is an extremely valuable tool for examining wear particles and solid contamination present in a sample without particle size or metallurgy limitations. The results, in many cases, can indicate from where and how particles were generated. In addition, conclusions can be made regarding the wear rate and health of the component from which.
Analytical Ferrography, when performed with other analysis tests, is capable of determining the Root Cause of failure, which can lead to failure prevention. Analytical Ferrography utilizes microscopic analysis to identify the composition of the material present. This technology will differentiate the type of material contained within the sample and determine the wearing component from which it.
Ferrography (wear particle analysis) is a non-destructive, optical technique to evaluate the size, shape, composition. and concentration of wear particles in oil or grease to. determine component wear condition. Example: Long curls of particles are indicative of abrasive wear, caused by hard contaminants.
Offline detection mainly include ferrography and spectroscopy analysis technique. Ferrography analysis (7)(8) (9) can observe the size, color, profile of wear particles. Spectrometry analysis (10.
