Integration of Ferrous Density and Particle Count for Automated Ferrography Analysis of Abnormal Wear Conditions

摘要

The presence of wear debris in machinery lubrication oils is a significant indicator of the condition of machinery health and indicative of equipment failure. Other oil analysis parameters reflect oil condition, contamination, or normal wear. These are sometimes leading indicators of abnormal machinery wear, but measuring wear parameters directly allows trending of the most significant indicators of incipient machinery failure.
