Why do you need Analytical Ferrography?

Analytical ferrography is a powerful diagnostic tool for detecting machine wear.

Save on Maintenance Costs

Oil analysis programs that use analytical ferrography can result in cost savings ranging from 7 to 20 times the cost of the analysis due to reduced downtime and maintenance costs.

Predictive Maintenance

In a survey of maintenance professionals, 71% stated that oil analysis and analytical ferrography are essential for predictive maintenance, helping them catch potential issues before they lead to costly failures.

Provides Valuable Information

Analytical ferrography provides valuable information about the wear patterns and particle types that can be used to pinpoint the root cause of issues and develop targeted maintenance plans.

The Crucial Role of Oil Analysis in Machinery Health

The importance of oil analysis in machinery maintenance is highlighted by a recent LinkedIn poll. Contamination detection, deemed most crucial by 47% of professionals, is essential to prevent damage and downtime. Other critical aspects, including wear metals monitoring, additive depletion, and viscosity testing, also play vital roles in maintaining machinery health and performance.
