AMETEK Spectro Scientific
Hydraulic fluid analysis . If oxidation becomes severe, the lubricant can corrode critical surfaces, and also deposit silt or lacquer deposits at servo valves. The greater the "oxidation number", the more oxidation is present. Conditions such as varnishing, sludge deposits, sticky valves, lacquering and filter plugging occur in systems with oxidation problems. WDA (Wear Debris Analysis/Analytical Ferrography). WDA describes either a patch or an analytical technique that separates magnetic wear particles from the oil... (read more)Browse Oil Sensors and Analyzers Datasheets for AMETEK Spectro Scientific -

Compressor oil analysis deposit silt or lacquer at servo valves. The greater the "oxidation number", the more oxidation is present. WDA (Wear Debris Analysis/(Analytical Ferrography). WDA describes either a patch or an analytical technique which separates magnetic wear particles from the oil and deposits them on a glass slide known as a ferrogram. Microscopic examination of the slide or patch permits characterization of the wear mode and probable sources of wear in the machine. This technique is known as analytical...

LaserNet 200 Series - Wear Debris Analyzer video camera counts and classifies the particles from the image data. This technique provides the user with a very reliable and accurate particle counter that can tolerate a wide range of dirty and clean samples, with varying viscosities. The capability of the LaserNet Fines to capture the actual wear particle silhouette allows for an 'Automated Ferrography ' capability for wear particle classification. All particles larger than 20 m are classified by a neural network in categories... (read more)Browse Particle Analyzers Datasheets for AMETEK Spectro Scientific -

The ferrography technique was developed in the 1970s to overcome the large particle detection deficiencies of spectrometric oil analysis. It is a technique used for the separation of particles from fluids for microscopic examination and subsequent analysis. The name ferrography derives from...
The focus of this paper is to provide details on how the LNF operates and how its method of particle counting and optical image analysis compares to laser style particle counters and traditional analytical ferrography. Finally, two cases studies, one for an Engine Test Cell and one for a Gearbox...
Particle imaging, electromagnetic, ferrographic, and spectroscopic methods were used to evaluate hydraulic oil samples collected from machines known to be generating abnormal wear particles. Analytical ferrography confirmed the presence of large reworked ferrous particles and small rubbing wear...
Extensive work on dynamic equilibrium models of wear particles was undertaken during the early 1980's to better help oil analysis professionals identify abnormal wear modes when performing analytical ferrography [1]. It was demonstrated that particles of different size ranges reach their own...
