Typical Oil Analysis Report Form

All filter patches contain fine to medium size metal particles >5 micron in varying concentrations. Some particles are >50 micron.

All systems were being filtered with 5 micron absolute filters. Several systems needed to be drained and flushed. A quick look tells the story. This customer was also using particle count analysis.

When concentrations of wear materials are this severe, money is wasted on particle counts until appropriate cleanliness levels are attained.

Fine to medium metal particle concentration. Falk paper machine dryer roll drive.

[Filter Patch 2]
Heavy concentration of metal wear particles >50 micron. Wagner 6.5 yard truck transmission.
