Application of Ferrography in Condition Based Maintenance

The model of maintenance is an algorithm of activities which aims at achieving the condition of a technical system that can ensure fulfilling the goals as well as predicting possible equipment breakdowns. Researches point out that corrective maintenance is associated with high cost and considerable time consumption. On the other side there are method of predictive maintenance, which presents a possibility to detect and predict a technical system failure and method of preventive maintenance, which performs the set tasks on technically correct systems in order to avoid failures. The paper accentuates and reviews the position and significance of the technology used for an early prediction of machinery wear by means of one out of a series of analyses of lubricant oils known as ferrography.
