Iron spectrum analysis technology is one of the important technologies for equipment condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. It can accurately and reliably predict the wear status and potential faults of machine lubrication components, and optimize equipment utilization and efficiency through maintenance actions. The ferrographic analysis technology developed by Soohow Instrument has established equipment diagnostic standards and is widely used in oil analysis laboratories worldwide. Ferrography is mainly used for image analysis of wear particles in lubricating oil. Ferrography technology utilizes the effect of a magnetic field to separate iron debris particles and adhesive particles from machine lubricating oil samples, and analyzes the morphology, size, quantity, and particle size distribution of their deposition and separation, in order to obtain relevant information about the wear process. By using ferrography technology, the wear status of mechanical equipment during operation can be diagnosed and monitored, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the system. One of the important tools for applying ferrography technology is the ferrograph. The PA100 dual analysis ferrograph is designed as two independent circuits, allowing for the preparation of two oil samples simultaneously. Operators can choose between automatic, semi-automatic, and manual production of spectrograms.
