Advanced instruments for On-Line and Off-line wear debris monitoring
MIDAS Ferrous Debris Monitor
MIDAS is a very sensitive and easy to use instrument for determining the amount of ferrous wear debris in an oil or hydraulic fluid sample.
Displayed debris readings are very stable and repeatable.
Quick and easy to use, low training overhead.
Small 2ml sample tubes are easy to handle, transport and store.
MIDAS resolves Fe levels down to 1 PPM, giving an instantaneous display reading.
Rapid 10 seconds per sample throughput is achievable.
Clean mineral, synthetic and water based oils / fluids all give similar 'zero'
reading, so that different sample types do not require a 'zero' reset.
A calibration check tube is supplied with each unit.
MIDAS units are in profitable use worldwide, in mining, papermills, power generation, oil analysis laboratories, locomotives, oil additive producers, sugar refiners.....
Low cost units and consumables (tubes). MIDAS units at multiple sites economically viable.
Low power 12V dc power supply makes field or vehicle operation possible.
For many users MIDAS is a complete stand alone wear debris monitoring solution.
Sophisticated users employ MIDAS as a first screening of samples prior to more exhaustive analysis.
Differences of MIDAS readings compared with spectrometric readings can provide additional insights into system condition.
Low MIDAS readings help to extend oil change intervals and save money on new oil, filters, disposal costs; environmentally beneficial.
