Ferrous Debris Monitoring System

Dantech Engineers offers Ferrous Debris Monitors, ANALEXpq(r) from Kittiwake Developments. It is an established method of predicting and avoiding impending machinery breakdown. ANALEXpq(r) provides the accurate means of detecting and measuring ferrous wear debris in lubricating oils, hydraulic oils and greases. These rugged, compact and stable monitors deliver retrievable data quickly and simply, ensuring fast, accurate and consistent management of lube condition samples. It detects and measures the mass of ferrous wear debris within a lubricant sample, irrespective of the size of the wear particles present. The result is displayed as a PQ index, a proprietary unit that can be trended with accepted linearity over a wide range of ferrous debris content and particle sizes. With minimal sample preparation required, these monitors can be used to identify the presence of larger ferrous particles (greater than 5-10 microns) missed by other more expensive analytical techniques. PQ technology measures the distortion of a magnetic flux field when a ferromagnetic sample (iron or nickel) is placed into the field. The resulting PQ index can be compared with DL and DS ferromagnetic measurements or with the PPM output provided by other spectrographic techniques. With the ANALEXpq range, used oil samples are easy to analyse and with a short test turnaround, laboratory time is minimised. ANALEXpq monitors can be operated remotely using bespoke WinPQBase software and a standard RS232 cable connection.
