Hey Duarte,

There is a commercial lab that performs ferrographic analysis here in the United States. They're located in Cleveland, Ohio and there web address is www.predictusa.com. Formal name is PREDICT TECHNOLOGIES.

FYI....I've utilized there services for 20 years. Expertise in the art of identification of type of wear particulate is top of the line.

Ferrographic analysis is actually just one piece of the pie. Spectrographic analysis should be performed as well. If the system is a lead/tin alloy system ie. plain bearings, spectrographic analysis will identify lead/tin alloy concentrations in the 3 - 5 um range. Also, this type of system can utilize a patch test which will capture all wear for examination under a bichromatic microscope.

Suggest contact be made and discuss with one of the Senior Analysts in order to identify your specific needs. 800-543-8786
