T2FM 500 - Laboratory Ferrography

Part #: T2FM 500

The RF500 is a dual-head rotating ferrograph designed for qualitative and quantitative analysis of ferrous wear particles in used lubricating oils and fluids. It meets Chinese industry standards (NB/T 51068‑2017 and Q‑SH.J 014‑2010) and features dual magnetic deposition, adjustable rotation speed, a wide particle size detection range, and integrated video imaging. The system is ideal for monitoring machine wear trends and predicting mechanical failures in heavy-duty industrial and transportation applications.

                                                
                                                    Full-Sample Particle Transfer                                                
                                            
                                                Moves the entire sample with no pump-induced distortion, ensuring clean ferrograms and reliable particle capture.

                                                
                                                    No Delay & Clear Rinsing                                                
                                            
                                                Eliminates blank tubing delay—the rinse cycle starts immediately, preventing halos or residual oil artifacts.

                                                
                                                    Bichromatic Illumination for Distinction                                                
                                            
                                                Reflective light highlights metallic particles in red, while transmitted light shows non-metallic debris in green, optimizing wear mode interpretation.

                                                
                                                    Integrated Imaging & Analysis                                                
                                            
                                                Includes microscope, video camera, image capture software, and optional PC—ideal for comparing ferrograms over time.

                                                
                                                    ASTM-Compliant & Efficient
