Wear Particle Analysis - Interpretation of Wear Metal Data for In-Service Oil Analysis Using the Spectroil Optical Spectrometer

In an in-service oil analysis program, lubricating oil is used as a diagnostic medium because as it circulates through an oil-wetted system, it carries with it debris from wearing surfaces, as well as contaminants from internal and external sources.The analysis of the in-service lubricant is then used to determine the condition of the system.
