ANALEX pqL PQ Index Wear Debris
The ANALEX pqL from Parker Kittiwake is developed to replace the widely used pqM and pqA. Using all new hardware, software and the latest technology, the highly accurate device measuring ferrous wear debris, irrespective of particle size and distribution.
This gives you the benefits of:
We deliver directly and globally to end-users, agents, and resellers. Contact us at marine@insatech.com.
The instrument provides the most accurate means of detecting and measuring ferrous wear debris in lubricating oils, hydraulic oils and greases. The rugged, compact and stable monitor delivers retrievable data quickly and simply, ensuring fast, accurate and consistent management of lubricating oil samples.
Unrestricted by particle size or distribution, combined with speed and ease of use, the ANALEX pqL is an extremely effective laboratory based screening tool for multiple samples prior to further analysis by ICP or XRF.
Condition monitoring of machinery lubricants is an established method of predicting and avoiding impending machinery breakdown. Worn components can be identified early and replaced before any serious damage occurs. Production can be maintained, machinery life extended and the return on capital investment increased.
The ANALEX pqL has several features that benefits you, which we have listed below:
Operating the ANALEX pqL is simple and easy for any crew member onboard your vessel or by you no matter where you are. We have listed the overall operating of the instrument below and you can also watch the video here, to see more.
You can also read a more thorough explanation of the operation of the device in the manual you find here.
The ANALEX pqL analyser is a piece of laboratory equipment which measures ferrous debris in pq. PQ is an arbitrary unit used by laboratories to determine if large particles of iron are present in samples.
The ANALEX PQ instruments are normally used by companies who have a oil analysis programme, where their laboratories also give results in pq and so laboratory and field results can be correlated.
Further to the basic instrument some level of automation can be added to the pqL with the use of a stacker which can hold 20 samples at a time.
There are some precautions you should take before operating the ANALEX pqL device before turning it on and analyzing your sample. We have listed the key precautions below here:
If you want to read more about these aspect of using the ANALEX pqL you can read more in the manual here.
pqLAuxilium enables programmable, automatic repeat measurements and organizes batch sample results in a database. It offers both automatic and manual measurement options, with customizable LIMS-compatible batch output files. Designed for easy integration with your ANALEX pqL, the software streamlines lab operations by supporting averaged measurements, remote calibration, carousel alignment, and automatic detection of the connected instrument through a user-friendly interface.
The pqL stacker is an accessory to enable additional functionality to the basic unit. It is a tower which attaches to the top of the pqL to hold 20 of the 5ml pq pots and enable a level of automation to sampling. It is best used with the Auxilium software as this will be needed to program the sample details and set the intervals between each sample being processed (it also aids the import of data into the customer's existing lab software systems).
Standard Test Method for Ferrous Wear Debris Monitoring in In-Service Fluids Using a Particle Quantifier Instrument
ASTM specifically refers to the PQ test using a particle quantifier and PQ index, which are only available on our pqL product.
ASTM D8184 is a standardized test method for measuring ferrous wear particles in used lubricants and greases using an offline particle quantification (PQ) magnetometer. It is used to monitor wear levels in machinery like engines and gearboxes by measuring the amount of ferromagnetic debris in lubricants, indicating potential mechanical wear. The results are reported as a PQ index, which correlates with the concentration of iron-based particles. This method helps in predictive maintenance by detecting early signs of equipment deterioration, preventing costly breakdowns, and optimizing maintenance schedules.
There is various spare parts and accessories avaiable for the ANALEX pqL, which we have listed for you below.
