ANALEXpql PQ Index Wear Debris

The ANALEXpql from Parker Kittiwake is develop 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:

  • More samples processed
  • Quicker screenings
  • Easy integration
  • Simple to use.

The ANALEXpql: Accurate and Fast Detection and Measurement

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 ANALEXpqL 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.

Key Features Benefitting You

The ANALEXpql has several features that benefits you, which we have listed below:

  • Easy to upgrade
  • Minimize footprint
  • Increased reliability and durability
  • Laboratory’s sample capacity increased (PC and Ethernet)
  • 4 x USB Ports 
  • Supported to barcode scanner (optional)
  • Increased accuracy and low range reproducibility
  • Ability to connect to the PC and Ethernet.

How do You Use the ANALEXpql?

Operating the ANALEXpql 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.

  • Power Up: Turn on the ANALEXpqL and allow it to complete the startup and self-test sequence (~1 minute). Once done, the Main Menu will appear.
  • Touchscreen Display: Navigate through a simple menu using the color touchscreen. A USB or PS/2 keyboard can be attached for easier data entry.
  • Calibration: Use the 0PQ and 750PQ standards for calibration. Calibration is recommended after every 500 measurements or 8 hours and whenever the carousel is cleaned or the device is moved.
  • Align Carousel: Re-align the carousel every 24 hours or after cleaning.
  • Options: Data can be transmitted in various formats via RS-232 or USB. Choose between manual or remote operation.
  • Data Management: View, rename, delete, or transmit stored results. Use the back arrow to return to the Main Menu.
  • Printing: Connect the optional thermal printer via USB to print results.
  • Shut Down: From the Main Menu, press and hold the Shut Down button for 3 seconds. Confirm shutdown when prompted. Do not remove power until instructed.

You can also read a more thorough explanation of the operation of the device in the manual you find here.

The PqL vs. ppm - What is the difference?

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.

Critical Precautions Before Operating the ANALEXpqL

There are some precautions you should take before operating the ANALEXpql device before turning it on and analyzing your sample. We have listed the key precautions below here:

  • Location: Ensure the device is on a flat, level surface, away from metal objects, electrical machinery, and strong magnetic fields. Keep it in a thermally stable environment.
  • Clearance: Maintain at least 300mm of space on the sides, 500mm above the device, and 2m from other equipment or machinery.
  • Temperature Sensitivity: Wait 2 hours for the device to stabilize after power-up before starting measurements.
  • Magnetic Interference: Avoid using mobile phones, computers, or other electronics within 2 meters to prevent disruption.
  • Calibration: Ensure the device is calibrated correctly, and the carousel is clean and aligned. Recalibrate after any major changes or after 500 measurements.
  • Sample Preparation: Use correct sample containers (5ml pots or 100ml bottles) and ensure they are free of metal debris. Shake oil samples before measurement.
  • Sample Containers: Always use the appropriate adapter for sample bottles or pots, and ensure the container is properly centered on the sensor for accurate readings.
  • Avoid Contact: Do not touch the sample bottles or carousel while the device is measuring to avoid misalignment or inaccurate readings.

The Auxilium software and pql stacker

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 ANALEXpqL, 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).
