FDA is emerging as an important condition monitoring technique as fine filtrationbecomes more common and the associated reduction of metallic particulates makes traditionalelemental analysis of the lubricant less effective. System filters have an added advantage overtraditional sample-based tec

Summary of Practice4.1 Lubrication and hydraulic system filters are a richsource of information about system health that are seldomexploited for machinery condition monitoring purposes.
41、Thispractice seeks to define some procedures that ensure consistentextraction and analysis of filter debris in order to assess systemhealth.5. Significance of Use5.1 The objective of FDA is to diagnose the operationalcondition of oil-wetted machinery systems in order to identifyabnormal wear or inci

The exploitation ofthis potential source of information for machinery conditionmonitoring purposes has b

This practice isprovided to enable a consistent approach to the analysis ofin-service debris captured in filters and is intended primarilyfor lubrication o

Prior to processing a filter element, itshould be understood whether the element is disposable orreusable so that appropriate processing techniques can beapplie
46、d.6.2 This is to ensure disposable elements are not inadver-tently reused following extraction of debris.6.3 Reusable filter elements are typically made from sin-tered metal or woven metal fiber (mesh), but can also employother media types.6.3.1 If a reusable filter is to be reinstalled into a machi

Failure to follow approved procedures could result indegraded filter performance or contamination of the oil systemwith residual cleaning solvent, or both. Some filters mayrequire a bubble point test (for example, Test Methods F316)toconfirm the inte
49、grity prior to reinstallation.6.3.1.2 If the approved maintenance manual does notspecify a suitable method for cleaning the reusable filter thatsufficiently extracts debris for analysis, then the filter elementmanufacturer should be consulted to determine an appropriatemethod. Ultrasonic extraction in particular can cause visuallyundetectable damage to some reusable filter media.6.3.1.3 The number of times a filter can be cleaned andreused should also be determined. Some reusable filter ele-ments will only tolerate a finite number of c
