Oil Analysis Wear Particle Analysis

Dual rotating ferrograph RF500

Part Number: RF500
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.
Dual Rotating Magnetic Deposition
Uses dual magnetic heads to capture ferrous particles efficiently—even from highly contaminated oil samples—onto a glass slide for ferrogram analysis.

High-Gradient Magnetic Field
Magnetic field strength from 100–1000 Gauss with working points ≥ 600 Gs allows graded deposition of particles by size and magnetic strength.

Adjustable Speeds for Each Stage
Customizable rotation speeds: 75 rpm (deposition), 150 rpm (cleaning), and 200 rpm (spin drying), all programmable via a built-in 10.1″ touchscreen.

Wide Particle Size Detection
Detects particles ranging from submicron up to 3000 µm, with reproducibility within ±10% (qualitative) and ±15% (quantitative).

Integrated Imaging System
Includes a dual-path optical microscope with a 16 MP high-definition camera and desktop PC for wear pattern visualization and data archiving.
