Full Product Description

The ANALEX pqL ferrous debris monitor provides the most accurate means of detecting and measuring ferrous wear debris in lubricating oils, hydraulic oils and greases.

Meeting ASTM D8184 and using pq® Technology, the pqL Ferrous Debris Monitor instrument provides the most accurate means of detecting, measuring and trending ferrous wear debris from machinery. This is done by monitoring the amount of ferromagnetic material suspended in a fluid sample that has been in contact with the moving parts of the machinery.

The rugged, compact and stable monitor delivers retrievable data quickly and simply, ensuring fast, accurate and consistent management of lubricating oils, hydraulic oils and grease samples.

Unrestricted by particle size or distribution, combined with speed and ease of use, the ANALEX pqL is an essential addition to the modern used oil analysis laboratory as an extremely effective screening tool for multiple samples prior to further analysis by ICP or XRF.

Features and Benefits
• Established in the 1980s, the trusted pq Index is used by, and features on oil analysis laboratory reports globally
• The pqL reports the pq index which is a dimensionless index related to the ferromagnetic content of an oil or grease sample.
• Wear debris measured, irrespective of particle size and distribution
• Fast 4-second sample measurement time increases laboratory sample processing, screening and throughput
• With user-changeable sample adapters, the pqL offers sample container flexibility
• PC Connectivity for ease of integration into information systems (LIMS) and 4 x USB ports
• Optional data management software package
