Parker On Line Ferrous Wear Meter Insatech

On-line Ferrous Wear Meter (OFWM)

The OFWM continuously monitors ferromagnetic wear particles in the piston underside drain oil of large 2-stroke engines, giving operators real-time insight into cylinder condition.

Key Advantages:

  • Continuous, cylinder-by-cylinder wear feedback
  • Direct reading in ppm (mg/kg) of magnetic iron (Fe)
  • Minimises manual sampling and lab costs
  • DNV-CG-0339:2021 and CE certified

We deliver directly and globally to end-users, agents, and resellers.

Transforming On-Board Oil Testing for 2-Stroke Engines

Cylinder condition is dynamic, and periodic manual sampling can miss significant wear changes between checks. Lab testing shows how lubrication condition has been; the OFWM shows how it is right now - with up to 30 measurements per hour, per cylinder.

Maximise uptime and reduce operational expenditure

  • Identify deviation from baseline wear trends early
  • Gain the confidence to safely reduce cylinder oil feed rates toward OEM minimums
  • Minimise manual sampling and remove operator influence from measurement
  • Support cylinder-to-cylinder comparison and vessel-to-vessel fleet benchmarking

Built on Parker's benchmark FWM technology - over 30 years of onboard condition monitoring experience, from Kittiwake to Parker - the OFWM takes that patented sensing technology and makes it continuously sample, so the crew don't have to.

Dedicated 24/7 Monitoring of Each Cylinder

Use Parker's dedicated OFWM PC application, or integrate directly into the vessel's supervisory monitoring system, to make informed and confident maintenance decisions.

  • At-a-glance traffic-light status (red / amber / green) per cylinder
  • Configurable alarms to prompt investigation
  • Trend running-in behaviour, wear rates, and abnormalities over time
  • Complements routine oil analysis, scavenge inspections, and OEM guidance
  • Supports the savings case for cylinder oil feed-rate optimisation programmes

Data can be visualised on a standalone Parker HMI display, exported via Modbus TCP, or integrated into the ship's supervisory system alongside pressure and temperature parameters.
