Wear Particle Analysis

Wear Particle Analysis is a process used to examine tiny metal or material fragments generated from mechanical equipment over time. By analyzing these particles, professionals can identify signs of wear, damage, or failure within machinery like engines or gearboxes. It helps detect issues early, prevent breakdowns, and plan maintenance efficiently. The analysis involves collecting a sample of oil or lubricant, filtering it to find the particles, and then using microscopes or advanced instruments to identify their composition, size, and shape. This proactive approach supports maintenance decisions, enhancing machinery reliability and lifespan.
