Instrument detects particles in lubes

Amot says that detection of metal particles ensures reliable machine conditions and maximises asset availability by avoiding unnecessary downtime. In addition, metal particle detection can verify filter system performance and failure, confirm system flushing, detect high corrosion and abrasion wear, identify improper machine repair, eliminate sampling errors and confirm corrective maintenance.

The MPD is a compact and highly robust metal particle detector, with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel body and no moving parts.　It is installed in a side stream of the lube oil/fluid for gas or diesel engines and reciprocating or rotating compressors, pumps, turbines, transmissions and gearboxes.　Its grid-sensing technology detects conductive materials, including non-magnetic particles, in non-conductive fluid lubrication systems.
