Laboratory Dual Analysis Ferrograph

Laboratory Dual Analysis Ferrograph – QualiFG™ 2000 Key Features

• Dual-channel synchronous preparation: QualiFG™ 2000 prepares two ferrograms at the same time through two independent channels. This improves daily throughput and supports side-by-side sample comparison for trending, confirmation, and baseline-versus-suspect analysis.
• Automatic and semi-automatic operation: the system allows the operator to choose automatic or semi-automatic ferrogram preparation. Automatic handling reduces operator time once the sample is inserted, which helps labs run routine checks more efficiently.
• High-gradient magnetic field: the instrument uses a permanent-magnet, high-gradient magnetic field with maximum flux density around 1.8 T ±0.1 T, with maximum field gradient above 0.5 T/mm. The high-gradient magnetic separation concept, but the exact flux-density value should be confirmed before publishing the final datasheet.
• Adjustable sample flow for repeatable deposition: the sample flow is adjustable to help maintain consistent ferrogram deposition and repeatability.
• Fast preparation cycle: two ferrograms can be prepared in under 20 minutes under typical workflows. This makes the unit practical for routine oil analysis programs that need microscopy support without slowing daily lab throughput.
• Clear deposition track for easier diagnosis: the ferrogram track is described as clear and transparent, which helps separate metallic, organic, and non-metallic particles during microscopy. This improves visibility and supports faster diagnosis.
• Particle arrangement by magnetization and size: particles are deposited according to their magnetization characteristics and size. This helps analysts interpret wear severity and particle distribution more quickly during microscopic review.
• Automatic and manual cleaning options: QualiFG™ 2000 supports both automatic cleaning and manual cleaning modes. This gives the lab more flexibility in routine maintenance and post-run preparation.
• Built-in waste handling: the system includes a built-in waste-liquid collection device, with vacuum-assisted extraction of waste liquid to a bottle. The supplier states that this helps reduce harmful vapor release around the instrument.
• Low sensitivity to oil moisture: moisture in the oil has very limited effect on ferrogram preparation. This supports more practical handling of routine field samples.
