Oil Analysis Wear Particle Analysis

Direct reading ferrograph DR100

Part Number: DR100
The DR100 is a benchtop ferrograph that offers fast, automated quantification of ferrous wear particles in lubricating oils. It divides debris into two size classes—large (>5 µm) and small (<5 µm)—by passing the sample through a high-gradient magnetic field. Optical sensors then measure particle concentration electronically, enabling quick, reliable wear diagnostics without requiring microscopic inspection.
Fast Turnaround
Provides results in under 10 minutes using just 1 mL of oil.
Dual-Size Particle Measurement
Differentiates and quantifies large and small ferrous particles to assess wear severity.
