T2FM 500 - Laboratory Ferrography
Part Number:
T2FM 500
The T2FM 500 is a turnkey laboratory ferrography system designed to isolate and analyze wear and contaminant particles from used lubricants (oils, hydraulic fluids, coolants, greases, fuels). It uses a patented Thistle Tube to deposit all particles—up to 800 µm—directly onto a ferrogram slide, enabling rapid, distortion-free analysis via a bichromatic microscope equipped with video imaging and specialized software
Full-Sample Particle Transfer
Moves the entire sample with no pump-induced distortion, ensuring clean ferrograms and reliable particle capture.
No Delay & Clear Rinsing
Eliminates blank tubing delay—the rinse cycle starts immediately, preventing halos or residual oil artifacts.
Bichromatic Illumination for Distinction
Reflective light highlights metallic particles in red, while transmitted light shows non-metallic debris in green, optimizing wear mode interpretation.
Integrated Imaging & Analysis
Includes microscope, video camera, image capture software, and optional PC—ideal for comparing ferrograms over time.
ASTM-Compliant & Efficient
Conforms to ASTM D7690, delivers fast preparation, minimal consumables, and supports thorough wear particle analysis.
