| Ferrography is a state-of-the-art predictive maintenance technique based on wear debris analysis in oils and lubricants.
Ferrographic testing provides non-intrusive evaluation of lubricated components while the equipment is in a running state. The laboratory is capable of ferrographic failure analysis. By using Ferrography, it is possible to avoid shut-downs and extend component life by taking preventative actions when early-warning abnormal wear is found.

Advantages of Ferrography:
Rotating equipment causes contact between surfaces, causing constant surface wear and wear particle generation. By monitoring particles generated by wear or environmental contamination, it is possible to detect the critical stage of accelerated wear that precedes costly and dangerous component failures. Ferrographic analyses determines the number, size and shape of particles. Ferrography Diagnosis Report:
After the samples are analyzed by Intertek, you will receive a diagnosis report by email or in hard copy format. The detailed report includes interpretation and a full color microscope photo of the wear particles.
