Scanning Electron  Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (SEM-EDX) is used for comprehensive particle analysis. Detailed particle count, shape and Chemistry data provides mechanical wear information.

Customizable reports include particle size distribution histograms, elemental compositions and individual electron images  of particles of interest. In addition, a database stores all results of analyses for use in monitoring long term processing trends and comparative post processing data mining.

TRIBOLOGICAL APPLICATION MONITORING AREAS INCLUDE: 

• Oil Analysis - Equipment  Maintenance Monitoring and Contamination Levels

• Aerospace - Jet  Engine Condition Monitoring

• Medical Manufacturing – Device Coating and Fatigue Wear

• Renewable Energy Supply - Wind Turbine Condition

WEAR MONITORING SERVICES SAMPLE REPORT

I. Particle Size Distribution


II. Particle Size vs. Chemistry

III. Individual Particle Data (Electron Imaging and EDX)
