The ferrogram is subsequentlyexamined using an optical microscope to identify the types ofparticles present to aid in identifying t

35、he wear mode occurringin the oil-wetted path of the machine.4.2 In usual practice of a routine condition monitoringprogram, a ferrogram is not prepared for every sample taken,but may be prepared when routine tests such as spectrochemi-cal analysis, particle counting or ferrous debris monitoringindic

36、ate abnormal results.4.3 The user of this practice employs consistent terminologyto achieve accepted and understandable interpretations whencommunicating instructions and findings based on ferrographicanalysis.5. Significance and Use5.1 The objective of ferrography is to diagnose the opera-tional co

37、ndition of the machine sampled based on the quantityand type of particles observed in the oil. After break-in,normally running machines exhibit consistent particle concen-tration and particle types from sample to sample. An increasein particle concentration, accompanied by an increase in sizeand sev

38、erity of particle types is indicative of initiation of afault. This practice describes commonly found particles inin-service lubricants, but does not address methodology forquantification of particle concentration.5.2 This practice is provided to promote improved andexpanded use of ferrographic anal

39、ysis with in-service lubricantanalysis. It helps overcome some perceived complexity andresulting intimidation that effectively limits ferrographic analy-sis to the hands of a specialized and very limited number ofpractitioners. Standardized terminology and common reportingformats provide consistent

40、interpretation and general under-standing.5.3 Without particulate debris analysis, in-service lubricantanalysis results often fall short of concluding likely root causeor potential severity from analytical results because of missinginformation about the possible identification or extent ofdamaging m

41、echanisms.5.4 Ferrographic analysis, as described in this practice,provides additional particle identification capabilities beyondmethods described in Guide D7684 for the following reasons:(1) The ferrographic particle separation method is magneticthus making it possible to readily distinguish betwe

For example,

45、many gear boxes generate severe wearparticles throughout their expected service life, whereas just afew severe wear particles from an aircraft gas turbine oilsample may be highly abnormal. Sound diagnostics requirethat a baseline, or typical wear particle signature, be estab-lished for each machine

Apparatus6.1 Required Components:6.1.1 Ferrograph or Ferrogram MakerApparatus formagnetically separating particles from fluids.6.1.2 Bichromatic MicroscopeAn optical microscope isrequired with dry metallurgical objective lenses and equippedwith a reflected light source and

47、 a transmitted light source sothat objects may be viewed from both above and below themicroscope stage. This permits objects to be viewed either withreflected light, or with transmitted light, or with both simulta-neously. Bichromatic microscopes for ferrogram examinationare required to be equipped

48、with three objective lenses to givevarying degrees of magnification. The low magnificationobjective lens is typically 103, the medium magnificationobjective lens may be 403 or 503 and the high magnificationobjective lens may be 803 or 1003. Ten power (103) ocular(eyepiece) lenses are used such that

49、total magnificationachieved is 1003 at low magnification, 4003 or 5003 atmedium magnification and 8003 or 10003 at high magnifi-cation. The numerical apertures of the objective lenses need tobe high to maximize illumination of particle surfaces whenviewed in reflected light. It is required to be able to polarizeeither light path to facilitate particle identification. Polarizedlight aids in the identification of nonmetallic particles. A redfilter is required to be optionally placed in the reflected lightpath and a green filter is requir
