Ferrography

Ferrography Laboratory Services for Lubricants and Engines

Ferrography provides oil and lubricant failure prediction and evaluation of lubricant wear debris. Ferrographic testing provides non-intrusive evaluation of lubricated components while the equipment is in a running state. Intertek experts offer ferrographic failure analysis to clients across industries and markets. By using the data produced by ferrography analysis, it is possiblefor clients to avoid costly machine shut-downs and extend component life by taking preventative actions when early-warning abnormal wear is found.

Advantages of Intertek Ferrography:
By monitoring particles generated by wear or environmental contamination, Intertek ferrography experts are able to to detect the critical stage of accelerated wear that precedes costly and dangerous component failures. Ferrographic analyses determines the number, size and shape of wear particles.

Microscopic wear debris particles are identified using Ferrographic microscopy analysis.
Ferrography Diagnosis Report:
After the samples are analyzed by Intertek, the clientl receives a comprehensive diagnosis report by email or in hard copy format. The detailed report includes interpretation and a full color microscope photo of the wear particles.
