Standard Test Method for Monitoring Ferrous Wear Debris in In-Service Fluids Using an ASTM D8184 Particle Meter

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D8184 standard. This test method describes the use of offline particle quantification (often referred to as PQ) magnetometers to determine wear rates in machines by monitoring the amount of ferromagnetic material suspended in a sample of liquid in contact with machine moving parts. It is particularly relevant for monitoring wear residues in lubricating oils and greases.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. The values ​​of the load (mass) of ferrous wear residues in the sample are reported as a PQ Index. The PQ Index is a numerical value that scales with the ferrous residue charge.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
