A 5 mL oil sample is placed in the supplied test tube and inserted directly into the instrument - no additional preparation needed. The ferrous debris content is instantly shown on the clear, easy-to-read display, offering a fast, simple, and clean analysis method. On-screen graphical instructions guide the process, enabling operation with minimal or no training.
By tracking ferrous wear measurements over time, rising wear levels can be detected early, allowing timely action to prevent damage. This enables real-time monitoring of machinery condition, so servicing is based on actual need rather than fixed schedules - reducing both costs and manpower.
To do the test just do the following:
Watch the video to see how it’s done.

Here is a step-by-step guide for you to take a sample:
The Parker Kittiwake Ferrous Wear Meter (FWM) offers a fast, user-friendly way to measure ferrous wear debris in oil samples from various machinery, including used cylinder scrapedown oil, gearboxes, and bearings.
Regular monitoring of ferrous wear levels enables early detection of machine deterioration, allowing swift corrective action. This proactive approach reduces downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and helps prevent serious damage.
The Cold Corrosion Test Kit is a good way to accurately analyze the level of corrosive elements in cylinder oil, which can prevent serious damage.
Within 5 minutes you will know the non-metallic iron concentration in the scrape down oil. Thus, it is a quick and simple on-board test, where you avoid sending the sample to a laboratory.
A complete oil analysis kit that can be used on-site for measuring and monitoring the amount of water in oil and TBN for industry, marine and offshore equipment, which enable you to conduct oil analysis quickly and easily.
In specific the DIGI Test Kits can help you ensure that the operating routines and processes ensures the engine running at its optimal conditions and ensuring minimum:
By performing an analysis on a sample of lube oil, the Ferrous Wear Meter detects the content of ferrous debris from abrasive wear in moving parts. With sample as small as 5 ml, the instrument utilizes a magnetic principle to determine the amount of debris in the lube oil and grease.
By doing the analysis frequently with fixed intervals, an increase in wear can be detected at an early stage. This will allow the crew to base their maintenance on the actual conditions of the equipment, rather than on conservatively recommended service intervals. Thus, the ferrous wear meter enhances the durability of your machinery and is an invaluable tool for your routine inspection.
Ferrous debris consists of tiny particles of iron or steel that originate from the wear and tear of machinery components. These particles are typically generated through friction, abrasion, or corrosion within engines, gearboxes, and other mechanical systems.
In the marine industry, monitoring ferrous debris is particularly critical due to the harsh operating environments and the high cost of equipment failure. The presence of ferrous debris in marine engines and other onboard machinery can indicate abnormal wear, potential component failure, or the need for maintenance.
Early detection through oil analysis helps prevent severe damage, reduces downtime, extends equipment lifespan, and ensures the optimal performance and safety of the vessel.
Ferrous wear concentration refers to the amount of iron-based particles present in a lubricant or oil sample, indicative of the wear rate of machinery components.
In the marine industry, monitoring ferrous wear concentration is vital for assessing the condition of engines and other critical equipment. High levels of ferrous particles can signal excessive wear and potential failure of parts such as bearings, gears, and shafts.
Regular analysis of ferrous wear concentration helps in early detection of abnormal wear patterns, allowing for timely maintenance and repairs, thereby preventing costly breakdowns and ensuring the efficient and safe operation of marine vessels.
A ferrous wear meter is a specialized device used to measure the concentration of iron-based particles in lubricants or oils, indicating the wear rate of machinery components.
In the marine industry, this tool is essential for monitoring the condition of engines and other critical equipment. By providing precise measurements of ferrous debris, the ferrous wear meter helps detect early signs of abnormal wear, allowing for timely maintenance and repairs.
This proactive approach helps prevent costly breakdowns, ensures optimal performance, and extends the lifespan of marine machinery.
Thus, the ferrous wear meter is an essential tool for monitoring the concentration of iron-based particles in lubricants and grease, helping to detect early signs of abnormal wear and extend the lifespan of machinery components.
