Ferrous particles are strongly attracted and align along the magnetic gradient, while non-ferrous particles and other contaminants deposit based on fluid flow dynamics and natural settling behavior. This process forms a structured deposition track in which larger and more magnetically responsive particles tend to appear earlier along the slide, supporting faster and more organized microscopic evaluation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the ferrogram is prepared, it is examined under an optical microscope for detailed wear particle analysis. Analysts assess particle type, size distribution, surface morphology, and probable wear mechanisms to interpret equipment condition. The transparent nature of the deposition track enhances visual separation of metallic, organic, and non-metallic debris, while the ordered particle arrangement based on magnetic response and size helps improve the efficiency and accuracy of classification during microscopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFast Dual Analysis Ferrograph – QualiFG™ 3000 Technical Specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQualiFG™ 3000\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFast Dual Analysis Ferrograph\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePreparation channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual-channel synchronous preparation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC 220 V, 50 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110 V available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower adapter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 V power adapter included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWear particle measurement range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 800 μm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInjection method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicro-pump pressure type, automatic sampling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCleaning methods\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic cleaning and manual cleaning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnetic field gradient\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt; 0.5 T\/mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum magnetic flux density\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8 T ±0.1 T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnet design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePermanent magnet, high-gradient field\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDilution \/ cleaning solvent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTetrachloroethylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlate inclination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1° to 5° adjustable range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.1-inch LCD touch screen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOil sample transport\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable flow range 10 to 30 mL\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCleaning agent flow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable; maximum \u0026gt;100 mL\/h\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMeasurement resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 µm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSample volume per analysis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOil delivery pipe size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOD 2.6 mm, ID 1.8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFerrographic substrate size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 × 24 × 0.17 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize (L × W × H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e395 × 355 × 335 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 14 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandards reference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eASTM D7690, ASTM D7684\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Qualitest USA LC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52175641706807,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/1859\/1543\/files\/fast-dual-analysis-ferrograph1828631720.webp?v=1779356826","url":"https:\/\/qualitest.us\/es\/products\/fast-dual-analysis-ferrograph","provider":"Qualitest USA LC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
