Magnetic particle monitoring is the most common and economical method for trend analysis of bearing, gearbox, or valve issues.FerroCheckIt is a magnetometer that can sense magnetic field interruptions caused by the presence of magnetic particles in lubricating grease. The interruption of the magnetic field is positively correlated with the amount of wear ferromagnetic particles present in the lubricating grease.
FerroCheckProvides a fast and simple non-destructive solution for measuring lubricant ferromagnetic particle monitoring(ppmGrade).
The sampling frequency can be determined based on the criticality of the components, in order to determine wear trend analysis and alarm limits. It should be noted that wear particles in lubricating grease accumulate and, unlike oil, remain in the grease until they are manually removed or washed away from the component.FerroCheckCapable of detecting concentrations in lubricating oil (grease) up to15%The ferromagnetic particles are an effective tool for trend analysis, which can easily help identify abnormal situations in fleet applications.
FluidScan(Compliant with)ASTM D7889)Infrared spectroscopy is a powerful tool that can be used on-site to measure the oxidation of lubricating grease and identify potential contaminants such as moisture or mixing with other lubricating grease. By analyzing trends and directly monitoring these parameters, it can help users determine whether the lubricating grease is still suitable.FluidScanUse comparison library (built-in super800Oil and grease samples can be compared with existing samples in the comparative library to identify potential grease mixtures. Try to avoid mixing lubricating grease as much as possible. The mixing of lubricating grease can cause changes in its rheological properties, ultimately leading to the separation of oil and thickener. If considering mixing two types of lubricants, it is best to conduct compatibility studies(ASTM D6185)To determine if the mixture is suitable.
Using a rotating disk electrode(RDE)A spectrometer can compare the concentration of metal elements in lubricating grease with new lubricating grease to determine if there is mixing of lubricating grease. In addition, it can be determined whether there are other wear metals (lead, tin, and copper) present. in the past15During the year,RDESpectroscopy has become a commonly used laboratory and field method for rapid analysis of oils and fats. Sample preparation is important, but it varies depending on the operator's experience.
