Fast determination of high wear of friction units based on particle size and concentration
Methods of detecting elevated wear of friction units in machines with the parameters of the wear particles in working lube oil are examined. The high sensitivity of the new fast method that allows analyzing wear particles in five minutes with simple and inexpensive equipment infield and laboratory conditions is demonstrated.
