Topic:
SEM-EDS: Advanced Wear Debris Analysis for Optimized Maintenance
Speaker: Craig Winterfield, Vice President - Laboratory Services, Fluid Life
Presentation Topic:
With the use of Scanning Electron Microscopy – Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) analysis, attendees will learn how to receive a clearer and more actionable picture of the possible sources and specific types of contamination and wear. Automated SEM-EDS analysis can determine the size and composition of hundreds of particles per sample in lubricating oil, grease, filters, and process materials. Attendees will learn how this technology is an effective method of wear debris monitoring to help prevent equipment failures, minimize downtime, and reduce costs. They will also learn how SEM-EDS can be used as a holistic tool for evaluating oil, greases, filter media, and magnetic plugs.
Our speaker:
